What’s grosser than gross? So-called followers of Jesus Christ jumping through linguistic hoops in order to defend pedophilic behavior. First there was the state auditor who said Roy Moore’s alleged behavior was no big deal because of Joseph and Mary.

Then there was that Alabama pastor who said he still supports the beleaguered candidate because “more women are sexual predators than men,” going on to blame the whole debacle on the amorphous and sinister “war on men.”

Now, another pastor has gone on record, citing an absolutely ridiculous reason as to why he still supports Moore, who is alleged to have been banned from an Alabama mall in his 30s for creeping on young girls.

Pastor Earl Wise took a two-pronged approach to his defense, first suggesting that the accusers may have simply imagined their memories due to a latent physical attraction to Roy Moore, which, barf, and then going on to say that the girls probably deserved it because, you know, 14-year-olds are sometimes hot or something.

“How these gals came up with this, I don’t know. They must have had some sweet dreams somewhere down the line,” he said. “Plus, there are some 14-year-olds, who, the way they look, could pass for 20.”

Don’t worry. Wise, who certainly lives up to his surname, threw even more spaghetti at the wall, in a desperate hope one of the noodles would stick, saying “There ought to be a statute of limitations on this stuff.”

And there you have it. An actual pastor who likely gives congregants life advice went “full-trifecta” in order to defend an alleged pedophile.

Wise went on to say that he would support Moore even if the allegations prove to be true. Well, that’s cool.
