"If Jesse Jackson deserves a pass, so does Mel Gibson."

Neither deserves a pass.

Probably not, but I'll hold it against Jesse far longer than I will Mel. Although I am very disappointed in him. See post 283.

The nice thing, for me, about my faith, is that it does not depend on whether or not its disciples are always consistent about their practice of their belief.

If a Christian celebrity, or minister, or friend, stumbles and falls, I do not have to reconsider my faith. I expect men to be less than perfect. And I expect them to strive to overcome their faults and sins.
