because the bible is abit apparently less than visible on the rights and wrongs of child sexual abuse at least as a listed misdemeanour does not change though the absolute horror of a situation that causes life  destroyuing consequences...

Not sure that it is 'less than visible' on this issue, ecu.  I realise that it doesn't refer specifically to child abuse of the paedophilic sort (but then when does it refer specifically to a lot of stuff), it does make very clear that - along with widows and foreigners - children are to be protected, supported, and built up.
