Standing by my friend Josh Duggar, as a brother in Christ. This was in his BC days. Such were some of us.
If evolution is true, then there is no absolute right and wrong. If evolution is true Josh should not have admitted his faults over a decade ago because what one evolved bag of molecules does to another bag of molecules just doesn’t really matter. If evolution is true there is no ultimate Judge on the bench who will hold every man, woman, and child responsible for their actions. And if evolution is true you will not give an account for every idle word you speak.
"He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities. No purpose whatsoever is served by those who are now trying to discredit Josh or his family by sensationalizing the story. Good people make mistakes and do regrettable and even disgusting things. The reason that the law protects disclosure of many actions on the part of a minor is that the society has traditionally understood something that today’s blood-thirsty media does not understand—that being a minor means that one's judgement is not mature."

So the guy did these things when he was 14? Then why is he being crucified? When someone underage seduces an older person, the underage person doesn't get in trouble. They're considered innocent and "unable to make those kinds of decisions". So should this guy. It only makes sense, if this is how the system is going to be.

Wayne Eugene DuMond (September 10, 1949[1] – August 31, 2005[2]) was an American criminal convicted of murder and rape.
DuMond's case received intense nationwide attention in late 2007, when his parole became an issue for presidential candidate Mike Huckabee during the 2008 presidential campaign.
DuMond's case resurfaced during the 2008 Presidential election when questions were raised on the conduct of Republican candidate Mike Huckabee in securing DuMond's parole while Huckabee was governor of Arkansas.
The DuMond case:
"...became a cause celebre among some evangelical Christians in Arkansas after DuMond claimed to have undergone a religious conversion. DuMond's supporters argued that he was not being treated fairly because one of his alleged victims was a distant cousin of Bill Clinton. They accused Clinton, then governor of Arkansas, of preventing DuMond's release from prison in defiance of the wishes of his own parole board."

4. Why did God let it happen?
Result of defrauding by:
Immodest dress
Indecent exposure
Being out from protection of our parents
Being with evil friends.

The very act of "accepting religion" is relinquishing critical thought and free will.
So you are really missing the point.
Unconditional forgiveness and acceptance is one of the benefits of Religion that really improves quality of life for the operative in this life. Kind of rational for a human when you think about it.
Excuses, forgiveness and less to think about, fewer books to read. Plus you get to judge people to make yourself feel better. It's clear to me why hoards of people end up as operatives.
