I am not the biggest fan of Dr Laura, but whenever anyone brings up past acts, and not recent past acts of someone to justify ignoring them, I am reminded of the old saying:

Some of the worlds greatest saints, were first some of the worlds greatests sinners.

If St Paul were alive today, in the culture and climate we have, the Christian church would have died, because Saul spent a lot of his life doing things completely against the Christian ideal, long before his conversion.

Fair enough. Do you know of any ‘saints’ that pretended they had been ‘saints’ their entire lives for a decade, then were outted as being a fraud, as happened with this woman?

I don’t. If she helps somebody with her pap, great...but I have no use for her brand of hypocrisy.
