God save Lord Ayyappa from women

A case is running in the High Court and the government is about to order a Crime Branch probe.

Incident: A popular actress visited the temple. WoW

A website dedicated to the Lord Ayyappa temple says -

"Sabarimala temple is open to all, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, social status or nationality." Notice the absence of the word "gender". Women are not allowed in the temple. They bar 50% of the population and claim to be open to all.

The reason provided "This is because the Lord is a chaste yogi in Sabarimala." So our great god is so weak that he cannot even control his urge if he looks at a woman ?

Shouldn't we expect our gods to be stronger willed ?

I would imagine a being like god to be much above things like ego, desire, revenge etc. How can the presence of one woman annoy god ? And if any act annoys god, would god be expected to take revenge from other people who are in no way concerned with the act ?

The power hungry and self assumed spokesmen of god, protray god as cheap as they themselves are.
