The Scandalous Men of God!!

Are These Religious Institutes Reliable?!
Not for the first time, a religious establishment is facing what one of its own men put it as a Tsunami of abuse claims. Recently, Pope Benedict (The sixteenth!) has apologized for the scandal surrounding churches in different countries on the subject of sexual harassment of the most innocents of human beings. Children who are supposed to be trained to be good men of God are being treated in the most shameful and malicious manner in places considered the most safe. Who knows what would become of such children?!
These are the words of Pope when trying to bring back the confidence of people: “I know that nothing can undo the wrong you have endured. Your trust has been betrayed and your dignity has been violated.”
The question is why people should put their trust in these men. Would people have trusted them had they not been associated with the church? Who are these men that people should trust?! Aren’t they themselves victims of such abuses?!
These particular cases are happening at the time of all openness and modern civilization. Who knows what have happened during the dark days of the past. No one can forget the crimes such people committed during the ages when the church ruled in the old days.
It is not only Christian “Men of God” that commit crimes; Studying the history of Moslems and Jews and what their “Men of God” have done and are doing in the name of their God. What has happened and is happening in Palestine; what has happened and is happening in Iran and other Moslem countries are only a slim part of scandals surrounding the religious institutes. Why are all these happening?!
The real answer is this: People put their trust where they shouldn’t. By doing so, people surrender their power to those who do not deserve. People call them “the men of God”. Well, if God is The Creator, all people belong to God. What has become so special about these people?
Is it not the right time to ask ourselves this question? Are religions really, as we believe, expressing the words of The Creator? Even if their founders had had such beliefs that they had been chosen men for their missions, why should we still be looking at today’s so called religious leaders in this way?!
It is a reality that almost all people who still believe in religions are not really sure if Christ, Mohammad or Moses had been in some kind of special contact with God. Even if they had, there is no reason that people of today trust, to such an extent, those who only claim to be their followers and have set up establishments so glamorous as never existed before with the power that has made them vulnerable to any misuse of their authorities?
To me we must consider what we call religion as something of the history and learn our lessons from them and look at them as part of human achievements and knowledge to be studied further at academic arena; and convert all the establishments reigning under religious flags to something of modern education bearing no mark of sainthood that can be deceiving in some ways.
Our religion is what we believe is right to do. We should continue to act righteously and try to learn things that can be better than what we are doing , correcting our path of life in the hope of finding the truth behind all matters concerning life and death in order to achieving our goals in life .
Will anyone dare to talk about this matter or wait for the news of other scandals to be revealed.
