For someone who touts their their beliefs in forgiveness and Christianity, you certainly seem to reject any value of Redemption. And you know what, if Bill Clinton publicly repented of his behavior, publicly apologized to America and to his family for his devastating sexual behavior and the consequences that this country had to suffer through because of it, and it was clearly a real thing, than I would say that he— above anyone- could be a moral spokesperson on the issue and trumpet from the rooftops of why it’s not the road anyone should travel down.
I never said I believed in Christianity — I said I liked Jesus’ formulation. My religous outlook isn’t the issue here. It’s not that I reject redemption — it’s that with regard to Dr. Laura, it’s that, given the way she continues to behave, I reject that she has changed at all. And in general, I reject the idea of a redemption after your time for committing the act has past — it’s very convenient to seek redemption once you can no longer behave badly in certain ways. Augustine probably said it best, but at least he changed his ways while he still could have lived a libertine life - not after his libertine years were past.
