Anna Duggar treating Josh like a returning war hero; losing weight for him

Remember, folks, religion makes you morally superior! If you want to be morally superior like Josh and Anna, you should become a Christian!

Sigh.

I think it's time to stop acting like child molestation and excuses for child molestation are a Catholic phenomenon.

 

[Cheerful Charlie]

As long as he hasn't come out as gay or transexual.

 

[Valjean]

Prodigal husband?

 

[Underseer]

Prodigal husband?

Or prodigal sister-molester.

That's OK. For this kind of evangelical, molestation is always the female's fault. Since Josh is male, it obviously wasn't his fault, and all the trouble he got into is evidence that he is being "persecuted" for his beliefs.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Man, it'd be great to have a wife like that if it didn't seem quite so much like a mental disease.

How exactly does an atheist criticise someone for engaging in consensual sex? You think adultery is a sin???

And if it's the hypocrisy that bothers you, then how about you stop sticking your nose into his life.
Coz that's a double standard.

I heard the Catholic Church had tons of atheists hiding in the clergy masquerading as priests.

Yes, it's impossible for someone to believe in god and commit child molestation. They have to be an atheist.

Don't need a deity to feel that a betrayal of trust is wrong, especially when it comes to marital fidelity.

And if it's the hypocrisy that bothers you, then how about you stop sticking your nose into his life.

Actually, he was sticking his nose into the lives of other people, speaking about how they should live their lives.

Coz that's a double standard.

You need to learn what a double standard is. Calling out a double standard, isn't itself a double standard. Though it is a refreshing thought to think he spent good money to go online and talk to guys pretending to be women.

That stopped as soon as the Vatican learned about the Kitten Mills.

By pointing out that what they are doing is wrong.

Is this a Christian thing? I'm not allowed to point out evil when evil happens? Why not? Why are you so interested in making sure that people don't point out evil when evil happens? What is your motive for wanting more evil in the world?

So now you're trying to claim that pedophilia is caused by atheism? You can't be that ignorant of the statistics.

Well, that's hilarious.

What I see in your first sentence is an echo of a rather common Christain prejudice. Many believe that if we don't have a god, we can't have morals. That the only way to determine right from wrong is with God's guidance.
But then, you say we should be behaving by a 'live and let live' morality. Leave their lives alone as we would have them leave us alone.
A morality that Christains rarely, and the Duggars never, exhibit.

Simply ask yourself, why are you sticking YOUR nose in the behavior of those on this forum? Anyone ask you to?

It is hypocrisy to represent oneself as something one is not. It's a further hypocrisy to present oneself as something others should try to be, while not actually being that.

That said, I'll also say I can sympathize with some of Josh Duggar's problems. As a skilled and accomplished adulterer emeritus, there's no double standard in critiquing one of my own kind.

It's a good thing for most of us that our adult life is not judged by things we did when we were teenage boys. If it turns out that Josh is still sneaking into young girl's bedrooms, it will be a different matter. If he is, I haven't heard about it.

Duggar's hypocrisy lies not in his sexual adventures, but in lying about them. For an ordinary person, this would be a matter between him and his wife, but the Duggars chose to be public figures, so it's fair when the public responds.

To ask a rhetorical question such as, "How exactly does an atheist criticise someone for engaging in consensual sex? You think adultery is a sin???" is disingenuous. Consensual sex is not the issue here and never has been.

Yeah, but don't you think it was at least cute?

I remember an incident from many years ago. A coworker made the statement, "I could never cheat on my wife. I don't care how fine the bitch was."

I thought about this for a moment and responded, "Bill, if you ever do cheat on your wife, it will be with a woman who looks like a dog beside your wife."

We worked together for several years and that was long enough for me to see my prediction come true. Violating the trust of a committed relationship is a very complicated thing. It's not possible to reduce it down to a simple declarative sentence.

Yep, I'm sure it is usually pretty complicated, kind of like long term relationships to begin with. I find it humorous about the "fine...bitch" comment, as I was baffled by the choices the Sperminator made in his cheating, which kind of fits your retort.

While human relationships are complicated, they all follow a familiar pattern, and there are many patterns.

Sometimes cheating is used as a prelude to ending a relationship. A person cheats in a way which is likely to be discovered, knowing the partner will end the relationship. Sometimes there is a desire to inflict pain on the the partner as part of the mix.

On the other end of the spectrum, a person who wants to keep the primary relationship intact, keeps the cheating as far from home as possible. The typical case is the man or woman who travels for business and will bring someone back to their hotel room, something they would never do in their hometown.
In Duggar's case, it's not surprising he went to the internet. He looks for "no strings attached" relationships on Ashley Madison, which is as far from home as possible.

The thing to remember in all of this is, cheating is a matter of opportunity and inclination. A cheater has to have a willing partner, a time, and a place. It is not always easy to make all three coincide. There are many men and women who can look back over a long marriage and truly say they have been faithful, but would have cheated, if only given the chance.

If a married man really wanted to cheat, it would seem easy enough to get a hooker.
There are probably some people who never seriously considered cheating on their spouse, but get put into an unforeseen situation that leads to infidelity. e.g. They fall in love with someone they work with.

I feel that way every time there is a cheesecake in the office. Alas, it never lasts.

How often in the course of a normal day, do you encounter a hooker? A lot of things seem easy, until you actually try to do it.

As for workplace romances, the factors which lead to an inclination to cheat, usually include a lot of pain. Pain distorts ones perceptions and leads to poor judgment. When one is in pain, anything which relieves the pain seems like a very good thing.

When the base cause of pain is removed, a lot of those good things don't look so good any more.

You can't explain morality without magic pixies. You do not believe in pixies, therefore you are immoral. I believe in pixies, therefore I am moral, even when I defend someone who has been molesting his sisters.
