But his gambling behavior vs. his moralistic preaching at americans about the importance of morals and virtues... has pretty much turned my ear away. Not from morals and virtues, but away from listening to him.

I don't listen to Swaggart, or brother bishop buggeror either...

Comparing Bennett to Swaggart is beyond the pale.

Bennett spent too much time using disposable dollars to gamble. Swaggart stole the ministry of Jim Bakker on the grounds that Bakker's affair with Jessica Hahn made him unfit to run a TV ministry empire, and then it was discovered that Swaggart was rendezvousing with cheap whores in motels.

Get some perspective.

The point of Swaggart, et al, is that just because you can parrot morality doesn't mean you are a moral person. It's our fault for not sending Swaggart more money, so he could have gone and done some high rolling instead of scrounging around in a cheap motel.

"Get some perspective."

I have some perspective... my own.
the same thing was said when NEWT's kingdom fell down.
the same thing was said when bishop buggeror was uncovered.

the same thing is said by blind supporters of the "moral mouthpieces" who "say and do not do..." all the time.

you are welcome to your view on the man. so am I.
He's a moralistic fraud.
He has been caught throwing stones, from the back yard of his now fully glazed house.
No use crying when his panes are shattered... just a lesson or two. Don't throw stones, if you have a glass house... and as much as possible, don't build a glass house in a neighborhood where folks are known to throw a lot of rocks.

Bennett brought this on himself. He knew better. He was caught and exposed. As we all are when we KNOW better and continue in doing questionable moral acts.

To whom much is given, much is required. Bennett had a lot.
He is not accountable to me... but I will NEVER listen to the man I BELIEVE to be a FRAUD, ever again.
