Take for instance, Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, etc. Once I asked a fundamentalist about how this could possibly happen and how could these leaders be such hypocrites, her immediate answer was "They have to answer to God, not you." So if this is true, why are they so judgmental about everybody else who might be doing the same thing, for example, President Clinton, or really, just anybody else.

On the show with "Reverend Dr. Kennedy" this morning he said that I deserved to go to Hell. He doesn't know I exist, so he knows nothing about me, but in Jesus's message of universal love I deserve to be tormented for all eternity. Some of them are just plain clueless to the hypocrisy.

They shouldn't. There's always going to be human frailty to contend with. Jesus is the ONLY one to walk the Earth without sin. I mean, if you're expecting the clergy to be perfect, that's an unrealistic expectation. And if you feel that they're expecting that of you, I think you're missing the message (it's all about grace and forgiveness).
