Yup. Consort with hookers and cry your way out of it.

Yes, he was. He played his audience. "I have sinned!"

It was the prototype of the apology tour, in a way.

At least he apologized, unlike Peter Popoff, Jimmy Baker, and Ken Ham.

The melodrama makes me skeptical of his sincerity.

At least Jimmy Swaggart inspired Genesis band to write "Jesus He Knows Me" song.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He lived to be 90, a strong indication that Jesus didn’t want him back.

Heaven didn't want him and Hell was afraid of him.

This, in spades. I remember at the time thinking it was crocodile tears from a scumbag who got caught.

I admit I was* biased though, I thought he was slimy before he got caught. That just sealed the deal.

I kinda wish there was a hell instead of the void.

Nah, hell would've welcomed him with open arms. Dude was as stiff as overcooked asparagus. Satan loves that shit.

Jesus was a friend to prostitutes. Scripture is silent on how he felt about their customers.
