If Moore sinned, he is long ago forgiven and more letters to the editors

Moore is living by his own bible

It would seem possible that a Nov. 17 letter writer (“Do not be too quick to judge Roy Moore”) has succumbed to fake news. I haven’t read anywhere in the mainstream media where one of the women accusing Roy Moore also accused several preachers of indecent conduct. The writer seems to ignore the testimony of several other women and witnesses who said Roy cruised the local mall, centering his attention on very young girls.

If these unnamed preachers lied, then they should get from God what they reserve for others. I have read where several evangelicals have excused Roy’s behavior by saying Mary was very young when Joseph married her, but Mary remained a virgin (Matthew 1:25). Understanding the customs of biblical times, probably due to environmental or economic pressures (remember “no money, no honey”), for Roy to be presented as a present-day Joseph cruising the mall looking for a Mary is ridiculous almost blasphemy. My Bible was canonized in 393 AD. The GOP bible, including the one used in Alabama, seems to get canonized daily, depending on what they want God to say.
