In the interval from the Scopes Monkey Trial (1925) to the release of the film Inherit the Wind (1960), most Americans' educational prospects expanded remarkably, with the GI Bill of Rights, whereas, Evangelicals and self-described Fundamentalists generally underwent a self-imposed cultural ghettoization which to some extent involved a contraction of educational attainment.

Conservative Christians of all denominations have suffered a great blow from this recent incident.

Thin ice doesn’t even describe what you’re standing on. Someone remind me to check back in a week and see if this one is still here.

Really.

The guy admitted the indiscretions to his family, was kicked off his job, took full responsibility for his actions and is paying a huge price. No one is justifying his actions or trying to say he didn’t do it.

It was only by the grace of God I didn’t fool around with a bunch of my cousins at that time of my life.

Where is the hypocrisy in that?

And what does that have to do with educational attainment.

Re: “Evangelicals and self-described Fundamentalists generally underwent a self-imposed cultural ghettoization which to some extent involved a contraction of educational attainment.”

First, even your statement were true, what does that have to do with the story in the article, and, second, what evidence do you have to support your statement above?

What a zotworthy load of crap. Did liberals and Hollywood types suffer a great blow when it was revealed Lean Dunham, without remorse, gleefully told the world about molesting her one-year old sister?

What Duggar did contradicts Biblical law. Only someone not very bright doesn't realize that and would connect all Christians to what occurred.

As a conservative Christian, I haven’t suffered at all, except inasmuch as my heart breaks for the daughters in this family who were subject to this monster and his actions and the subsequent cover up by their parents and community.

Conservative Christians need to make it clear that they do not support this behaviour, nor do they support the way it was handled.

Seriously?

Most Christians understand this is a serious moral failing on this kids and family...which he is currently paying the price...

Most people understand this is a reflection of his moral failing not a moral failing of all conservative christians..

So this great blow you are talking about is what?

Non-christians will think all Christians are now hypocrites ?

Yeah, that must be it...
