I have been away (in Maine). Would someone tell me where the discussion of Roy Moore-the current discussion after today's revelation-is taking place? In which thread? I saw this thread and zeroed in on it when I first logged in. I just got home, but while driving I listened to Gloria Allred 's press conference on the radio and had such a strong physical reaction to it that I was afraid I was going to become sick in some way. I need to see what you are saying about it here. He strangled her.

Here, as far as I know. A new article just came out about how his predatory nature was 'well known' in his town, and he's denying ever knowing the woman he attacked (the one who came out with info today), despite his signature being in her YEARBOOK. He's a creep who hides behind the cross (seems a pretty common theme):

I don't think this is true, I think it's worse -- he's just legitimized and made publicly acceptable the immoral underbelly of this country. Kind of like when a whale dies -- it's majestic on the top side when it's alive but once dead, turns its bloated rotten corpse belly up for all to see. Not that I'm bitter or anything.Trump has ushered in a new America.
To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say 'Merry Christmas'. Christmas 1977 Love, Roy Moore D.A.

Olde Hickory House is where the teenaged Beverly Young worked part-time as a waitress.
p.s. Moore actually wasn't the elected District Attorney of the county, so had no legit reason for bestowing that title upon himself. Moore had graduated from law school just 6 months earlier & was a deputy DA:

When I see multiple women come forward and I see the aggressor state he doesn’t remember a scene of his crimes, the first thought that goes through my mind is that he probably doesn’t remember it. He’s probably harmed so many women that they all blurred together.Moore said he doesn't remember the restaurant. We need a barf emoji
Does anyone know what Fox News is reporting on this?
Republicans are now starting to standing against Moore. It will be interesting to see what the Alabama voters will do if Moore isn't removed from the ballot.
Please don't lump all evangelical Christians together. All do not share the same views.
Agreed that there are good and bad people in this world regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof. However, the broad swath of christians and other sects are not off the hook because their brethren may be more stringent in their application of their religious beliefs. All religions have their own dogma which contain the lessons and rules to which followers are supposed to adhere. In the 3 major world religions, that dogma is filled with rebuke, hate, fear, retribution. Those who believe and worship their deity are condoning and accepting the rebuke, hate, fear, retribution therein. Believers like to cherrypick their dogma claiming to adhere to the love and light and not the hate and darkness their dogma contains but that is a cop-out. When someone claims they are an "X" then they are branded by all that entails.I am disturbed by the wholesale vilification of a large swath of Christians. It is highly polarizing and based on false assumptions. Let's be more liberal-minded. Give people credit for having their own, well-thought out, individual opinions, and avoid sweeping condemnations.
I want to have a legitimate discussion on this and not an argument so please interpret my question as non argumentative and an opportunity to inform an atheist. When you use your intelligence to decide what seems right to you, how do you reconcile that with your belief system? It implies that you think some of your religion's dogma is incorrect or untrue which is antithetical to the belief that god is perfect and can't make mistakes. I'm stuck on the concept that if you use your intelligence to guide how you interpret and act on your particular religion's dogma, then you are choosing (in some circumstances) what to believe and how to act in contradiction to the word of god.I reserve the right to believe and act as seems right to me. You may call it cherrypicking, but I call it being intelligent.
Aside from the molestation of all those teenage girls, let us not fail to recognize the molestation of all of those Keurig machines due to the company pulling its ads from Fox thanks to Hannity's "coverage."
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo...es-keurig-after-it-pulls-ad-from-hannity-show
I particularly like the tweet (shown in the article link) that states:
Liberals are offended by this video of a Keurig being throw off of a building.
Well actualllllllly... liberals (and other people of morals, regardless of political--or any other--affiliation) are offended by the fact that a dirty old man molested a bunch of children.
There are also five other companies that pulled their advertising:
E*Trade
Eloquii
23andme
Nature's Bounty
And last but not least... Realtor.com
Speaking as a realtor myself I certainly hope no one decides to make a Keurig-esque statement by throwing one of US off the roof of a building. Just sayin'.
@Dee*Jay Here's the weirder part of this. Realtor.com is owned by News Corporation which is the parent company of Fox Television which is the parent of Fox News which is the network that broadcasts Hannity. So realtor.com is pulling their advertising on Hannity even though they are all owned by the same parent corporation. Maybe they don't want everyone to know they are a Murdoch enterprise too.
