Don't define God by what man does.

It really depends upon the god that you worship. And while many monotheistic gods are benevolent, there are still many that would not be considered 'good'. Many of the gods of polytheists are not beneficial to people. An example of this is in ancient river civilizations when floods came, they were often violent and to explain this, the peoples made a violent god who made floods. However I believe that youare talking about the Christian God and I truly believe that he is good, however everything is biased and open to anyone persons opinion. But I would say that priests touch little boys for sexual pleasure because they arent allowed to touch women and are able to control boys as oposed to men. Then they lie about it because it is dusgusting and wrong and it would ruin their image/career.

Because humans are not good. It is not even close to being logical for you to assume that anyone who calls themselves Christian is actually following every bit of it 100% of the time. Do you ever do anything that you think is wrong?? We are sinful creatures, so easily distracted and pulled off course. That's the whole reason that Jesus came, to save us from ourselves.
Go watch a movie about Robin Hood or something and see how the local authorities abuse the name of the king. They do what they want and say it's in the name of the King, while doing something completely the opposite of what that king would allow. It's human nature to abuse authority when it is given and not checked up on.
God is 100% good - but He allowed us free will and we chose to be bad.

Because they are sinners just like the rest of us. If they repent of their behavior and turn from it, they can be saved. If not, they will end up in Hell, priest or no priest. Being a priest/pastor is not a "free ticket" to Heaven.
