Questions: Society & Politics

Alright, so it's come up that Josh Duggar used to moleste some of his sisters. For years this has been kept quiet, and now that it's out it seems like a lot of the supper christian big families are still accepting of him, simply because he's "sorry"

I'm not saying he should be put in prison or anything, because it WAS years ago, and he does have his own family.

But I mean, the Duggar girls, are taught that to be imodest, is to cause men to sin, because men are more prone to think dirty thoughts, and dirty thoughts are sin. (their teachings, not mine)

So these girls had to live with this, thinking that it was somehow their faults that their own brother did this to them. Brothers are supposed to protect their younger sisters right? Isn't that the thing? His actions completely warp the idea of brotherly protection! And these poor girls have also been forced to think "I must have done something to make him think that stuff, I've made him SIN".

They also haven't said anything about it, even though they have had to see this man nearly every day. Their brother, the guy who is supposed to help them, not hurt them.

Needless to say, I don't forgive him, but that is just MY opinion. Any other point of views? Should he be forgiven?

You may meet two people and have a definite view of their differences but that does not extend to billions of people you gave never met, no matter how intelligent it may make you feel to think so or speak as such. And whatever you think Fred flinstone said to Wilma five million years ago that proved your view a

So lets see , according to Merriem : Sexusm.

We haven't had a great debate question in a while! Now I know that there are a million different ice cream flavors, but you can almost always count these three to be available. Of these three I'm gonna have to go with chocolate.

What about you guys?
