If everyone were held to the same standard I would shut the hell up.
It's weird how just about everything can be rationalized by some who claim to be devout.......it usually takes some serious twisting of the facts and/or the scriptures. That's not specific to Christianity, it seems like it happens a lot within several religions.
Anyway, I listened to Roy Moore deny that any of the Post story was true, blaming it on the left, the media, and fake news. The standard fall-backs of the day, whether the story is true or false.
What ultimately convinced me that he's lying was hearing a clip of an interview of Moore on Hannity. Moore said he doesn't remember pursuing and dating teens when he was a DA in his 30s, BUT if he did, he always asked for the girls' mothers' permission. I think he'd remember who he dated and I don't think he'd ask permission to date an adult. I don't think it matters to his supporters though.
