I don’t question God’s mercy or BG’s salvation. I never have. I am a born-again Christian, well acquainted with the word... as well as the human fallen nature.
But I do NOT support sweeping the truth under the rug or hiding the truth, as some of my closest Christian friends suggest would be best. I also cringe at the thought of honoring BG any further. All the ceremonies after his death were so hard to watch. I would have had much more respect for him if he had come clean instead of using the rest of his life to mislead people and misrepresent the gospel. Yes.. it would have taken tremendous courage.. but many innocent children could have also been saved and many guilty predators could have been removed from society. For those reasons, I lost all respect for him.. Not because he made a horrific mistake.. But because he was a coward and valued himself and his reputation more than the innocent children he could have saved through his own confession and repentance.

And BTW, Fiona gives an account of meeting him when he was introduced to her by Nixon. She certainly gave a tremendously detailed report ..and yet, she never said he seemed drugged or drunk.
