Ladies, the point is not whether we have a heaven or hell for Jesse or even judging him. That is not the point. The point is whether or not you would accept the SACRAMENTS of Marriage and have your HOLY UNION officiated, presided over, and sanctified by someone who recently violated all of the vows that he is asking you to swear to under the authority of GOD. If you are amenable to this, this means that you have NO STANDARDS and any STANDARDS that you purport to have are meaningless because you have proven that expediency and moral relativity are your masters. The fact that other people sinned, may have sinned, or will sin is immaterial when dealing with the merits of a single case. Again, I say, the not judging thing is a cop-out for jaded people who refuse to hold themselves and others to a standard of behavior for fear of being a hippocrate and actually having to live up to concrete (non-malleable) values. Do we have to wait until the day at the Pearly Gates to hold someone accountable for their behavior? I say all this as a fully acknowledged sinner and imperfect Christian, but I don't excuse my sins, nor anyone elses, especially because others have done it (that is the lamest of all).
