They fail at being human beings, plain and simple......it has nothing to do with them "sinning", a"calling", or any of the other fairy tale shit you believe in.
You, ever eager to excuse them, fail at this yourself, though, granted....not as fantastically. You're a second stringer in this arena, as you are in so many others.
Not from what Ive seen here on this very thread.
When we were discussing the sex abuse scandal many pages back, numerous members of this forum specifically said that it's worse when priests do it because they are "supposed to be men of god."
This was addressed by multiple atheists in this site on this very thread.

Thank you for the compliment.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
