Ed, the caller in a recent BackTalk said that we need to forgive the Rev. Toussaint. This is true, this idea about forgiveness in religion, but that is also assuming we knew what was going on there with the reverend. He wasn’t forthright with the information in the first place; he was dishonest. It was not like he stole a piece of candy or kicked someone in the shins, he was a partner in a murder. That is nothing to play with. It is not something that is easily forgiveable.

Remember

We want to believe that people can change. And they can, I hope. But it’s hard to give the guy the benefit of the doubt when he can’t even start with the truth. Also, for the record: His murder conviction was eventually tossed (but he was guilty of partaking in an armed robbery in which two people were shot dead by his accomplice). —Ed. Note
