> Then you and I have very different definitions of “upstanding.” He worked for a conservative lobbying group which actively works against gay people, viewing them as sexual deviants and child predators. All while hiding behind the fact that he was a sexual predator to his own siblings. That’s not my idea of an upstanding life.

Exercising personal religious beliefs does not make someone a bad person. These days it takes quite a bit of courage to openly endorse fundamental religious beliefs that have been held true for over two thousand years.

I don’t agree with much of what the Duggars follow. My wife and I sought out and attend a moderate church. Our congregation and deacons wouldn’t hire an ultra conservative pastor. But, I do respect people in religions that I don’t follow.
