Thread Name: PUBLIC APOLOGY
Subject: RE: PUBLIC APOLOGY
Sorry Sean. Seems to be a lot of people badmouthing Falwell. I'm just wondering if we judge preachers harsher than we want to be judged ourselves simply because they have the stage and they have taken a stand. What does that say about us? Is this a self-righteous way of boosting our own egos in a TV culture? Should we feel superior simply because we haven't taken a public moral stand or because we are totally righteous seven days a week, 365 days of each and every year? Well, I don't feel righteous enough to condemn them for their lives or their politics.

No offense taken on flattop - especially since I didn't understand your reference.
