So everything for 40 years that Ted Kennedy has done for the country or had a legislative hand in is to be tossed into the trash while we offer invective for one totally awful act? Ted K. has been revoltingly self-indulgent in his youth: he cheated on his Spanish exam at Harvard, cheated on his first wife, killed MJK and fled to his name for safety. All bad.
But in his adulthood, in his public life, in his care for the country, he has been awesome and admirable.
What is the good of Christian folk prattling about the lost sheep and redemption when they–and perhaps you, don’t know–only endorse redemption for those who tickle their fancy?
Just another reason I personally find Christianity obnoxious.
Not being a Christian, I cannot comment on the redemption you are speaking about, nor do I see the point you are making in attacking Christianity in your reply.
But I do see the point in reminding people that Mary Joe Kopechne is still dead. Had Kennedy been held accountable like anyone else would have been, we could say, “yes it happened, he paid his debt to society, and look at all the wonderful things he has accomplished since”.
