The conservative Christian groups that embraced Carrie Prejean over her public stand against gay marriage at this year's Miss USA pageant would presumably be appalled by revelations that she participated in racy photo shoots and made obscene videotapes for her boyfriend.

Should those groups be expected to renounce Prejean's erotic endeavors? Explain your vote in comments.

Carrie Prejean

Wow people on the left on this site make several themes that are repeated .

1) 'She had a right to her opinions but then went on a holier than thou crusade afterwards'. Nice revisionist history there but she was attacked for almost a week on the web entertainment sites Perez Hilton,MSNBC called a bi***,cu**,Barak Obama's political advisor David Axelrod in front of the National Press Club made a joke about wanting to call his dog Mrs California.(looked it up on Drudge where I got the video), her mothers divorse was actually looked into,and every other word in the book was called before the pageant came out and gave an incredibly weak defense of her, and even Donald Trump said he would still have Perez Hilton as a judge again.Thanks for nothing what was she suppose to do sit there and take it you idiots?

2)' She had fake boobs'! Where has any and I mean any conservative person on the right commented on 'you only go to heaven if you have real boobs'? Sorry this is a real giveaway that the person is to the left and is now projecting they believe tightly wound up Christian SHOULD believe!

3)Hypocrite,hypocrite,hypocrite!!! Favortite tactic of the left again shouts down argument. See they say conservative moralize and are JUDGEMENTAL!!! HORRORS!!. No actually they have standards and know man will fall from them but we don't get rid of the standards.Anyone bothering to see where Carrie comes down on sin should at least find out what she has said before this all came out about her. In her book she actually mentions she worked with a group JC's Girls that helps strippers and other girls in trouble and she says she wants to love them and share a better way.Far from being totally judgemental she says at her church strippers who still strip do attend church and are welcome but that her pastor is clear on where the church stands but is there to help when they want to take the next step. She also in her book reprinted a letter she made to her fans apologizing for the pictures that first came out. If you espouse NO standard then your OK because you can never be criticezed how convenient!!Look she fell and sinned and has said in an interview in BIGHOLLYWOOD.com 'don't do it if it's something you would not want you mother,father pasotr or God to see'. Now I couldn't ask anymore from someone and we will all know now the next time your asked a 'politically ' correct question at a beauty pajeant you better answer correctly or you and your families personal history will opened up and you will be destroyed. So much for tolernce from the Gay Gestapo and cultural leftists.We know the score and where your tolerance really is 'tolerance for me but not for thee'.

"renounce her appearances in racy photos and obscene videotapes?" Yes, but rejoice that like the woman of John 8, she has gone and sinned no more. Leave her alone and rejoice in her testimony of deliverance and growth in Jesus!

Forgiveness

What did Jesus teach us about forgiveness? We are qualified to cast stones if we are sinless and the only sinless I am aware of said to fill my heart with eternal love.
