The Duggars lost thousands of followers from the molestation scandal, and this will probably do them in as people to "look up to" for other religous people.
So yeah....these things actually do have an impact!
Being an honest being MATTERS! I'm baffled that you would argue that is basically affects people not at all.
Lying on this level is terrible, and it ruins relationships (straight, gay, friends, families, all kind of relationships). To defend it as just something everyone does is BS. Though protestith too much, if you know what I mean.
Those people stopped believing what they did, or just transferred their beliefs to the next masthead? Now, because I'm defending something else, and in the course of that accepting an uncomfortable -fact-.. I'm probably a cheater too huh?

Let me put this very simply, for the simple amongst us.
When, not if, you find yourself on the moral outs, regardless of whether or not there is any validity to that moral condemnation - don't be surprised, offended, or in any way feel that you have -any- purchase on the situation. All comments now levied at these scumbags are -justly- levied at you, not because of the contents of the the specific moral condemnation, but because of your tongue in cheeck approval of -this one-. Goose, meet gander.
At the same time, I know my tiny bit of satisfaction is wrong. But I'm willing to BE HONEST ABOUT IT.
Maybe you ought to get off YOUR moral high horse, as if you have never judged a person for what you percieved as an immoral behavior before. Pffft. It's human nature. Or are you above that?
