I was referring to Ephesians 5:3-11.

3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7Therefore do not be partners with them.

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

Know what? You cast the first stone, I need mercy too much not to be merciful and I recall very avidly that the Jews accused Jesus of most of the things in those verses. In fact the Talmud teaches that Jesus was a bastard conceived during a menstrual period (which means He is cursed, too).

I don't figure I know anyone who can judge Laura Bush righteously because the Bible tells me that I (and in effect each other human) does not know his own heart therefore one is not fit to judge the heart of another.

You are welcome to fit this into whatever is required in your book but I have learned that what is forbidden/required of one is not necessarily forbidden/required of another.

You are entirely welcome to view it your way. I might wish she hadn't but for my part she is still whoever she was and she only really has to fear the Lord and please her husband.
Nowhere do I read that she has to please me or the Nation.

Ecc 3:1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

God is neither a scribe nor a Pharisee otherwise he should have done something other than reward Rahab and the Hebrew midwives for telling lies--as much Scripture as there is about lying; or David for eating the shewbread when hungry.
