"Nearly 40 percent of Alabama evangelicals said in a new poll that they are more likely to vote for GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore following allegations of sexual misconduct against him."

It's pretty scary when 4 out of 10 people get more excited to vote for someone when there are sex scandals involving minors.

1. I do not pretend to understand it, but they do preach that none are...

without sin, and forgiveness is a blessed thing.

That would normally be good thing, except usually the sinner has to be repentant. Unless, of course, they believe he is such a godly man that he would not do such a thing.

Faith is a strange thing.

2. 44% of AL voters plan to vote for him (at this point), so this actually appears to demonstrate that

Fewer evangelicals are voting for him vs. the overall population.

3. Of course they will

4. Well, that makes sense.

Many of these bible thumpers are nothing but hypocrites anyway. I'd expect nothing less from these slack-jawed, mouth-breathing, booger-eating, morons.

And that's about the kindest thing I have to say about them.

5. He may help legalize marriage to 14 year olds so of course they'll vote for him.

If a man can marry a girl that young before she has been set in her ways he can train her to be a dutiful wife to her husband.
That's the system that evangelicals really want to bring back.

6. And then move on to human-livestock marriage:

"One man-one lamb. It's gotta be in the Bible somewhere".
