It's not my standards, it should be his standards. He is portraying himself on a television show, as an extremely religious person, who is living his life, by his bible. If Christianity were so cut and dry, there would only be one denomination and no gray areas, but it's not. The problem here is, Howard sets his standards, not you. And unless he has 1) defined his view on sex and 2) actually HAD sex with Candice (you would also have to get into the argument of what is considered "sex"), then it would be fair to judge him on that. But from what I've seen, he's done neither, so the point is moot. And "holier than thou" is a patronizing morally superior stance based on religion. I haven't seen Howard exhibit that at all. Everything he's said about God seems to have been just about his own personal relationship. I grew up among the worst of the worst when it came to Christian hypocrisy and though I'm not fond of bringing religion onto the show, his Christian talk has been relatively benign.
Candice just made things worse for herself with that speech. If she wanted to call out Spencer, then the LAST thing she should have done was a power-rant in front of the whole house. She let pent up frustration take over and forgot about trying to win the game.
I would love for Aryan and Amanda to go next. Followed by Spencer and McCray-Cray. I hope McManda gets married because it would be better for the world not to inflict them on anyone else.
