Is it because god wont let them touch women? Don't you see how christianity drives people who are likely good people to do bad things such as rape?

Men have sex with other men in prison and it isn't because they are gay.

Preists have sex with boys and it isn't because they are [pedophiles]?

For the same reason other religious or non-religious people do it....because they are sick in the head.

The bible does not say a priest cannot marry. The catholic church says a priest cannot marry. Get it right. Christianity is not catholicism. I'm not saying that catholics aren't christian. I'm saying that christianity is not catholicism, like your argument suggests. God does allow priests to marry.
Second, you're assuming that the reason priests molest is because they're somehow sexually deprived. It could be another reason. Ever wonder why they only seem to molest boys? Maybe this says something about the sick nature of homosexuality. Because if the reason was sexual desparation like you're suggesting, I would think we would be seeing a lot of priests stalking and raping women in the church, not molesting preteen boys.

Why does anyone molest children? Yes, it's particularly disgusting when a priest or other religious leader does it, because it makes people think it's a religious problem. That gets more attention, but in fact, people from all walks of life, whether religious or not are guilty. Why? Evil.

I think that some people of all professions molest little boys. They do it for the same reason that everyone else does it. Priests are just getting more publicity for it. I don't think being Catholic has anything to do with it.

Why do teachers molest students?
Why do coaches molest children?
Why do parents or family members molest children?
It is not just Priests that molest children and not all Priests fit in that catergory
Priets can marry but not serve on the Altar, most decide not to marry

Priests molest boys for the same reasons that other pedophiles do. I don't think mental illness and sexual deviation discriminate based on faith.

It's probably for the same reason other people molest little boys.

Is it the religion what drove them to this in all cases, or does the job position by its nature attract a lot of creepy people? Something to think about.

They do it for the same reason that all people of other professions do it.
Lawyers, teachers, pastors, preachers... you get my meaning.
An occupation does not make you a pedophile... the pedophile will search for occupations and opportunities to disguise themselves among their desired victims...

They're forbidden to marry, even though the Bible says in Timothy that it is a doctrine of demons to forbid to marry.
But that's catholic, not Christianity. Christians do marry, including the "elders".
