Ok. Just ask for forgiveness and itâs all good. No need for a penal system or any such secular balderdash, unless of course you are non-white or non-christian.

Morality vs Money
The Duggars and their extended cult family will always side with the money that Je$u$ led them to believe they deserve.
No surprise. From the first I heard of them, it was obvious that the family had no real moral compass znd no adult supervision.
ââŚby condemning a repentant sinner you have placed yourself in the place of GodâŚâ
So these self-righteous hypocrites are ok blasting anyone who is, letâs say, gay, because they are an âunrepentantâ sinner and they can take the place of God in that case. Rigggghhhhhtttttt. Got it.
Knock those straw men down!!
âMany times it is simply lack of opportunity or fear of consequences that keep us from falling into grievous sin even though our fallen hearts would love to indulge the flesh.â
Translated, he is saying that if he could get away with it, he would totally be nailing under aged girls, too.
Philosophically, that statement underlines a major problem with these type of folks. There is absolutely zero empathy involved in their world view. The notion that molested a young girl would be terrifying and destructive to her never even enters into their minds. Its all about âthemâ, and the only reason not to hurt others is because of the consequences âtheyâ would potentially face.
EDIT:
âIn the same vein, Seewald dismissed the argument that Duggarâs strict, Christian upbringing factored into his alleged transgressions as a teenager.â
I have seen some of that home school crap they have out on sexual abuse. It essentially tells the victim, that what happens to your body doesnât matter, because its better to have you soul closer to God than it is to, you know, not be molested. In other words, if your Daddy or Uncle or brother is diddling you every night, just pray harder and its all ok.
Now combine that with this specific case, where the molester suffers absolutely NO consequences for his actions, and its seen for everyone, molesters and potential molesters alike included, that he suffers no consequences, indeed, he is being held up as the real victim. Then yeah, I think its pretty clear that the âupbringingâ has a tremendous amount to do with why this happened. âJosh, its ok if you fondle your little sister, we all give in to our urges. Its not your fault in the least. And she doesnât mind because its just her body, she only cares about her soulâ
âThey think that had he access to sex education by Planned Parenthood, been allowed to watch edgy Hollywood films, been encouraged to experimentation with a girlfriend, or gotten free condoms from the local school nurse, then none of this would have happened. Right,â Seewald wrote. "The stupidity of some people is mind boggling.
Yes, sir, the stupidity of some people sure IS mind boggling.
He argued that all people are capable of depravity and most only stop themselves from committing an offense because of âlack of opportunity or fear of consequences.â
Once again: Conservatives KNOW that âeverybody thinks exactly like they doâ so whatever brain-farts emerge from their pie-holes MUST be GODâs TRUTH! (especially if it provides THEM a âGet Out of Jail FREEâ card.)
Hypocrites.
I am waiting for the inevitable: âAfter all, it was only GIRLS he molested! Itâs not as if he molested BOYS.â stupidity.
Just wait, itâs coming (Rush Limp-balls?)
There are many more shoes in this saga that have yet to hit the floor.
Wow. That quote floored me too.
I thought the reason most people didnât molest 4-year-old girls was a) absolutely no interest, b) itâs morally reprehensible, c) itâs just plain wrong.
I canât think of any situation where it could be acceptable or even understandable.
ââŚedgy Hollywood filmsâŚâ
I'm unsure of any link between edgy films and immoral behavior. It's likely however anything produced by Adam Sandler springs forth from Satan.
Well of course youâre not shocked, you hillbilly freak, but normal people are.
Not one fucking thing about helping the victimsâŚnot one fucking thing.
He argued that all people are capable of depravity and most only stop themselves from committing an offense because of âlack of opportunity or fear of consequences.â
If he truly thinks that then he is hanging around with the wrong people.
âHere is a warning for everyone reading this, by condemning a repentant sinner you have placed yourself in the place of GodâŚâ
Again with the threats. What is it about religious people always threatening others? In any case, I wonder if he felt the same when President Clintonâs affair became public knowledge 20 years ago. I mean, he wasnât demanding Clinton resign or anything like that, after Bill repented of it, right?
âHere is a warning for everyone reading this, by condemning a repentant sinner you have placed yourself in the place of God âŚâ
Here is a warning for a Christo-fascist misogynistic fucktard: by excusing a child molester on the grounds that you think your mutual imaginary sky-dwelling pal says itâs OK, you have placed yourself in the place of the authorities who might protect this individualâs next victims should he continue to suffer from lasting mental issues as some prone to molesting oneâs own sisters might suffer.
They really are the sex-obsessed ones, the fundies. To them itâs this volcanic, ever-present force that will make you do vile things absent divine intervention to save you. To normal people, sure, you feel attractions to others but you regulate it to act appropriately because thatâs just what you do. Itâs wrong and incredibly hurtful to do otherwise. And yet theyâre the ones who consider themselves morally superior and think they ought to be running the country. Shaking my head.
How dare he? Only God can forgive sinners. Does he think he is God?!?
They are to be praised for not hiding this from the appropriate parties and eventually the police, but they owed it to no one else to publicize the sins of a minor child
Does âappropriate partiesâ include Discovery Communications, Inc.?
Seewald would make a proper quibbling PhariseeâŚ
