Just goes to show what a metric shit ton of gullible people are capable of swallowing. Wasn't it Billy Graham who was crying like a baby when being caught out for adultery, after excoriating Jim Bakker for the same thing? Yes. Yes, it was. "I have sinned against you..." All you religious people will line up and forgive these people in a heartbeat. You religious people ought to be more christlike, and scourge them out of your money temple. Hypocrisy writ extremely large. I'm not an angry atheist. I'm just one who looks at this kind of lunacy and shakes his head at how wrong-headed people can be when they embrace that insanity. You poets can sort through the meter, BTW.
This seems a little confused to me. What is the hypocracy in the OP? What are you trying to say here, that unless you are perfect, and Connor say that anything is wrong? I would agree, that a pastor caught in adultery should not be leading a congregation. And I don’t condone adultery no matter who does it.
Also just a note: Jim Bakker went to Billy Graham’s funeral. He spoke very well of him.

"Billy Graham came into my prison when I was there. He wrapped his arms around me when I was a mess. I was cleaning toilets at that moment and I was at a very low moment in my life," Bakker said. "Billy Graham walked in and threw his arms around me and said, 'Jim, I love you.'"
Graham's wife, Ruth, who died in 2007, even invited him to their home in North Carolina after he was released from prison.

You may also note the Graham rule that people where giving Pence flak about recently for following.
I am reminded of the following quote by Saint Augustine. "Never judge a philosophy by its abuse."
