| One does not just apologize and start the same thing over again. |
Norman Teigen has left a new comment on your post "Pastors Plagiarizing Platitudes":
You have brought to our attention the apology of a celebrity Lutheran blogger and the resulting praise of another celebrity Lutheran blogger who has also apologized.
I do not intend to pass judgment on the validity of these apologies. As a friend told me, if the apologies are anything less than sincere then the matter is between the penitent and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The offenses which these celebrity bloggers are guilty include demeaning the comments and views of others that differ from their own. There is, added to this, a generous helping of pious baloney.
An important part of a MEA CULPA is the promise to refrain from further offense. These two celebrity bloggers could demonstrate their commitment to peace and harmony by voluntarily agreeing to refrain from commenting for say, two years.
Might this be expected? I would wager my JC Penney card that it won't happen that these two celebrities will be silent. There is ego involved and a certain intoxication with one's own verbosity.
I say to all who have apologized, continue in a life of repentance and stop posting for two years.
