[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been following the Roy Moore allegations and for the most part could have predicted the entrenched political defenses and accusations. However, I was surprised to read that some evangelical churches are standing behind Moore because they dismiss the story of the most serious allegation (14 year old) but focus on how a 30 something year old "courting" 16-18 year old women is not a bad thing.  Is dating across such a wide age gap an accepted practice in some of these southern church communities?  [/quote]

NP. I’m not evangelical (far from it) and definitely not a sympathizer with evangelicals or Moore (omg no).

However, there’s a big difference between 1. groping a 14-yr-old against her wishes, and 2. courting a 14-year-old platonically with an eye to future marriage.

Evangelical “support” could be for the platonic version. Or maybe for Moore’s support of other evangelical causes, [i]despite[/i] the groping, which I would still be horrified at, but that’s diffferent from how you’re portraying it.

In other words, I don’t completely trust how you’re representing this. I don’t know your source(s), although I presume they’re atheist. I suspect you’re the angry atheist returning with her weekly “aren’t you an idiot for believing?” thread. If you could link to your source(s) then we could judge for ourselves what exactly this evangelical “support” consists of, and how common it is.[/quote]
