If a religion is strong it will stand on it's own credences and faiths, doesn't matter what the leaders do. Somehow I believe Christianity will survive this. Perhaps, people who tend to believe this show their own questioning of faith. All this shows me is that perhaps people need to truly read the Bible and what Jesus said and come to their own decisions and not base their lives on what another man interprets the Bible to say.

I don't give a damn what the leaders of any church do, just don't be passing judgement and quoting scripture to me if you haven't cleaned out the log in your own eye.

I do however believe, this may weaken the political stances of these people, and that is a good thing.

It's the scandal of the moment so it will get hot press. I am amazed at the "It's only a story because ....." excuses.

Let's see..... Clinton gets a hummer in the Oval Office and gets fried in public everyday for a solid 2 years, but it's a liberal media.

Let's see this very influential, powerful guy is very vocal against a certain lifestyle and people, then gets caught and admits he participated in that lifestyle while preaching against it...... isn't a true scandal, nope, it's the "liberal Media" pushing forth some kind of agenda.... what that agenda is only great wise men like Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and the Holy Tabernacle Choir will understand... but they will explain it to us.
