Josh Duggar: I Don’t Have To Apologize For Molestation Because It’s All The Devil’s Fault

What? Me worry?
Sounds like someone is channeling Flip Wilson. Having said this, however, I might try the same excuse if my wife catches me with another women.

There was a case of murder in Papua New Guinea which was thrown out, since the victim was a witch doctor.
Self defense was apparently a justified argument, despite the victim being asleep (from memory) because a hair brush had gone missing. Something like that, anyway.

I'd run the justice system to evidence based criteria. Some gave different criteria of evidence, but obviously mine is the right one. Ahem...

Do you think it's fair of Josh Duggar to blame his sexual molestation of his sisters on "external forces"? For that matter, is claiming the devil made you do it ever a legitimate excuse for one's behavior? Why or why not?

No. Even if it's the Devil's fault, Mr. Duggar isn't blameless. Also, the people in the family & TV crew who covered it up would seem to bear a share of responsibility as well.

Unfortunately in some of those types of communities they seem to refer to that sort of behavior as dating.

If the Devil represents a person's capacity to commit violence in order to fulfill their own desires, then yes, the Devil made him do it.

If we're to assume that somehow diminishes his responsibility for his actions, I'm pretty confident the Devil wants me to spend a couple of hours with him and an assortment of sharp instruments.

EXCELLENT POST!

The mind of a sex offender is a complex thing; like an onion, a layer of lies under another layer of lies under another. This is only the first layer.

The reactionary response to childhood sexual abuse is not productive. What is needed is a more preventative model of addressing childhood sexual abuse; kind of like what Germany is doing:

Do you like children in ways you shouldn't?
