Spelling error intentional.

If there are molestations going on, then they need to be stopped, regardless of the sponsor. If you imply by your intentional typo that we are powerless to protect our children from religious radicals due to the mind controlling power of religious beliefs, then you are wrong. The example that comes to mind would be the unwanted and coerced underage marriages that have been taking place in the desert southwest. It is difficult to convince the victims to come forward because of their fear induced by the religious training they have been taught since their childhood. If the government steps in and removes the children from the situation to protect them from further unwanted sexual liaisons, then the "victims" are likely to reject the proferred help because of their faith. It is not until they actually become a victim that they begin to comprehend the wrongfulness of the situation they are in. Such indoctrination can only be overcome with love and exposure to the truth. Then they can see that life doesn't have to be as harsh as they have been taught to expect.
Ultimately truth will prevail.

The importance is at a couple of different levels.
1. Jesus said something about millstones around the neck for someone that causes harm to a child. I would guess that He figures that it is important.
2. In some way it is legitimized if the kids are at a function you approve of (like church).
3. It is not something that anyone should have to put up with but children may not know better or it is done by someone in authority and there is a catch of some sort that kids cant reason out (eg If you tell someone about this, your family will have ________ happen to them.)

Argh matey......are you inferring that it is impotent to think one can protect children at a religious function? I believe that with the amount of information out there regarding abuse by religious leaders now, parents are being more careful in regards to trusting their children with adult religious leaders. At least, I hope so anyway.

by not having them there at the religious function point blank.
a religious conference is just that a conference its for adults just the way children will not be able to understand all the speeches that are made at these conferences. I tend to do conferences which specificly states that there is to be no-one under the age limit of 18.
