In the last month, evangelicals have had the risance to weigh in on “moral crises” surrounding two different reality-TV empires: Josh Duggar’s revelation that he sexually molested five girls, and Caitlyn Jenner’s decision to come out as a woman.

Both Jenner and Duggar are Republicans and both are Christians—though Duggar is far more outspoken about his faith. But in general, evangelicals have been far more forgiving of the one who broke the law, Josh Duggar, whose victims included four of his sisters. Many Christians condemned Duggar’s actions, and the lengths to which his family went to hide them from the public for 12 years. But they also jumped to his defense. Here were some of the most-liked responses to the announcement on the Duggar Family Official Facebook page:

Carrie Hurd, wife of Patrick Hurd, the pastor of Heritage Covenant Church, used her husband’s Facebook account to explain away Duggar’s actions, saying he was just playing doctor. Eric Hovind, creationist activist and son of creationist theme park founder Kent Hovind, used the news to try to discredit the theory of evolution:

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 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.

Meanwhile, in a controversial Facebook post, presidential candidate Mike Huckabee praised the family for accepting Duggar’s sins.

The backlash against the Duggars, wrote Matt Walsh, a blogger for Glen Beck’s site The Blaze, speaks more about the morals of liberals than it does about the ethics of the Duggar family, who achieved their fame as the focus of the show 19 Kids and Counting. “It’s always interesting to watch progressives discover sexual morality just in time to denounce a right winger, only to shed the pretense as soon as the next liberal pervert comes out of the woodwork…They are moral opportunists. They are the actual hypocrites. This outrage is a charade. A circus. A show. A political ploy.”

But the conservative reaction to Caitlyn Jenner’s announcement was a different story. There was some mention of God’s forgiveness, but mostly disgust.

“It’s just wrong, disgusting, frankly,” Walsh, The Blaze blogger, wrote in separate post titled “Calling Bruce Jenner a Woman Is an Insult to Women.” He went on: “While I feel sympathy for Bruce’s psychological struggles, it’s selfish to do this to your children. First to take their father from them, and then to coerce them into dealing with such a devastating development in front of the whole world.”

The Duggars’ personal pastor, Ronnie Floyd, told People magazine that what Josh did was wrong, but that God would forgive his transgressions. About Caitlyn, however, he reminded his congregation in a sermon that God forgives such sins, but he advised: “You dads, make sure you raise your sons around men who are manly.” And shared his disbelief: “What’s remarkable about this is the world is applauding. … Gender is not fluid.”

Right-wing former rocker Ted Nugent posted a Facebook statement that seemed to support the former Olympian’s chance to live how she wants to live—and Nugent’s supporters praised him for his “classy” response. But read further down in the comment stream on Nugent’s post, and it’s pretty clear that he and his supporters find her profoundly ill.
