He claims he did NOT lose 8 million dollars; that this was a lie. I think his Christian witness went down the tubes because of this but God is a God of second chances and he'll just have to earn people's trust. It won't be easy.

actually quite astute wisdom on your part.
God gives second chances... people often hesitate to.

ESPECIALLY when the other shoes start to drop.
And I guarantee you, BB is going to get an anal exam that will make clarence thomas' confirmation hearing look like a vacation in the south of france.

That is not glee on my part... but I have seen this before. So have we all. Any shoe not stapled to his toes is going to be pulled out from under the bed... and displayed here and on Television.

gambling is usually tied with a pretty short rope to other things not moral. the biggest impact is amongst trusting Christians, who thought they had a person who was walking the walk whilst talking the talk. the least impact will be amongst the "denial" folks, who will get all defensive over this.

Watch out for more dropping shoes! And not just Bennett either. It is after all, election time. Mouthpieces for the right, will all be getting their election cycle anal exams.
