Atheism & the Duggars

[Rev. Rye]

If I was on the jury, I might think differently. I only know the highlights that the media has provided. My interest was perked by the Duggar parents very Dawkinsish statement!

Honestly, I doubt this was done in good faith. They’ve been inculcated into these cults (like Vision Forum or the IBLP) rife with sexual abuse where the default response is to blame the victim and maybe send the offender to another church and they only distance themselves from them when the optics become too shit to bother defending them. And, especially given that Jim Bob seems to be running for public office again (at what would seem to be the worst possible time for him, what with the fact that his son appears to have been publicly outed as not only a pedo, but one into the worst of the worst CP), I strongly suspect that when they say they hope the truth comes out, they’re less hoping that they find him guilty and more hoping that some miracle happens where he’s somehow exonerated.
