I am talking about people here who revel in in. Who believe her use as a woman is tied to that part of her life. Yes, God forgives and Godly people show mercy and forgiveness.
God forgiving is not the same as a complete absence of specifically *human* consequences.
Recall when King David had Uriah the Hittite abandoned in the front lines, so he would die, and so David could marry his widow and cover up the affair they had had?
The prophet later explained to David that one of the consequences of David turning from God was that someone else would sleep with David wives -- and that what David had done was in secret, but his cuckolding would be in the sight of all Israel.
This was fulfilled by Abaslom, at the counsel of Ahithophel, in order to make himself odious to David, reduce the chances for a reconciliation, and strengthen the will of his fellow rebels.
Monica was young, and taken advantage of. It is not that which makes her unlikely to get married; it is the storm of publicity and the fact it involved often-joked-about perversions and practices, as well as the (likely) transmission of sexual diseases.
I feel sorry for her, except that she is not entirely a victim: seriously, would YOU (as a mere intern getting pizza) flash your thong at the PRESIDENT??!!
Flirting, yes; puppy crush, yes; but not flash a thong: which technically, you shouldn't be doing anyway, still less in the Oval Office, on grounds of decorum and "who the hell do you think you are?"
Cheers!

Has Lewinsky ever said that she was sorry for her actions? Let’s review just what her actions have done: for one thing, the term blow !*& became common even among little children. She chose to chase after a married man who happened to be the POTUS. She even bent over a table to show him her thong. She performed sexual acts in the Oval office. She kept a blue dress with semen on it as a memento like someone would a “love letter”. After it hit the fan, she appeared on talk shows for MONEY, got a gig with a diet firm FOR MONEY, appeared as a model for cigars and such FOR MONEY. In life, there are consequences for actions and the conversation on FR revolves around the fact that she is “damaged goods” and no good man would want her. You may be the type of person to be thrilled if a son brought her home to meet you. I am the type of person whose HEAD WOULD EXPLODE if a son brought her home to meet me. IMHO
