Believe what you want. Heck, have him baby sit your daughter. I would not, but you can give him the benefit of the doubt. Hire him to work the front desk at the Waldorf Astoria and fault others for not recognizing his purity of heart despite his deviance of action.
Yes. Everyone may be as stupid as they wish to be and everyone can suffer the consequences of that stupidity. Sure, Adolf or Manson could turn their life around, God may even forgive them, but it is a bad choice to act as though they are Mother Theresa. You pay for your actions. Paint yourself like a cannibal if you like, but do not fault others for treating you as a cannibal. Aren’t others free to pass judgement and behave as they wish in response to others’ actions?
I’m make him a greeter at Wal Mart. He’s no worse/better than what’s there already.
