Dear Editor:
Having lived in that great Christian state of Alabama for five years and in the Erin area one thing amazed me: the hypocrisy of those claiming to be Christians.
Most I find now don’t know what the word “grooming” is except the Trump followers love to throw it out. He, after all, pays for sex. I do research and what is interesting is that many individuals that are charged with sex crimes are good Christians.
They are the “groomers.” Check out Jerry Falwell Jr. and the pool boy, for one. Check out the new Congressman in the U.S. George Santos – if that is his name, since he uses many. He is against drag, but was allegedly one in Brazil. The wonderful Duggar family, now there is a good Christian group.
What in my lifetime I have found is that those that yell and shout and talk about dirty sex, etc. are usually caught doing it themselves. The prisons are full of good Christians, like the one who killed his entire family in Utah after being investigated for abuse of his daughter. Hey, he was a pillar of the local church and a Boy Scout leader is how his obit, before it was taken down, described him.
So-called Christians should worry about their own behaviour and try looking in the mirror.
