I'll retire to Bedlam: Levi Johnston gets what Christians don't?

Ergun Caner reportedly makes scores of untruthful statements in public venue after public venue. He's caught out. Finally, he mumbles some generalities in public, but supposedly more in private — and that's supposed to be it? And folks who think it isn't are haters?

Francis Chan tells the world he's lurching off from his ministry on some sort of mission, giving bizarre reasons that just don't diagram. Call him on it in the same arena, and you're a hater?

Mark Driscoll does what he does publicly, and if Phil Johnson says something about it in the same arena without taking Mark to a Starbucks first, he's a hater?

Yet Levi Johnston, poster boy for why girls should never have sex outside of marriage, trashes the Palin family, and then has the moral sensibility to say this:

“I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize."

(Fred Butler sends me an additional link.)

So, this morally, spiritually clueless young derelict "gets" what hundreds, thousands of professedly Christian, professedly Biblically-instructed people don't: public sins should be confronted publicly and confessed publicly.

(Though, were he a Christian, I would urge him to specify and correct his lies about the Palins.)

I will, as I say, retire to Bedlam.
