People like that are usually guilty of much more than they actually get caught doing.

MUCH more.

I'm not exactly sure who to but... I've been taught not to speak ill of the very sick and dead. To where condolences are appropriate... You have them from me.

To others .. there is a song from the Wiizard of Oz that begins "Ding Dong".

From Wikipedia:

Donnie Swaggart and his son, Gabriel Swaggart, are also preachers, making four generations of the Swaggart family to have become involved in ministerial work.


(Donnie has referred to the Democratic Party as the 'party of Mulach' more than once...)

They are no better than their father, with the exception that they have not been caught in a prostitute scandal.

Yet.

What's the old saying, 'the fruit don't fall far from the tree'?

We will see, I guess.

Swaggart and one of the greatest rock and rollers ever were cousins. “The Killer “ - Jerry Lee Lewis learned to play the piano in evangelical churches, however, his path parted from Swaggart’s and the rest is rock and roll rhythm and blues history.

And by tragic, I mean in the eyes of the sheeple who follow these types of (insert appropriately negative title here).

Way too many shepherds like this, guiding people to do and support terrible things.. When the time comes, good riddance is what will come to my mind.

He was a conman who used Christianity for money and power. He didn't live his life as Jesus taught making his hypocrisy heretical. The world will be a better place without this charlatan.

I write this as an atheist.
