Alabama pastor Flip Benham, who recently appeared alongside U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) at a campaign rally, told an Alabama radio station that Moore dated high school girls because of their purity.
Said Benham: He did that because there is something about a purity of a young woman, there is something that is good, thats true, thats straight and he looked for that.

(3,515 posts)I don't think that purity was his issue.
Women can be pure in heart even if they have been previously married, or sexually active.
"Purity" is not a synonym for virginity. Not in my English.
Roy Moore is not Kaylas first husband. According to CNN, Kayla Moore was divorced with a child when she married Roy Moore. However, AL.com reported that, when Kayla met Roy Moore, she had a 1-year-old daughter and had just separated from her husband, Chuck Heald, who died in 2002.

"Purity" is not what Roy Moore is alleged to have sought out young girls for, assuming he did seek out young girls. I wasn't there, but the women who are accusing him seem credible to me.

(12,448 posts)These so-called "good Christians" are defending sexual assaults on girls by a grown man. There is NO excuse--NONE--for that. Apparently a lot of people knew about Moore's sick behavior, but did nothing.
