“As I near 60 years old, the expiration date has come and gone on any of my youthful indiscretions,” Taylor told the Nashville Scene when asked about the unsolicited nudes allegation. “Whatever story you think you’ve got, my wife is well aware of, and we’ve worked through it a long time ago.”

“My God and my wife have forgiven me, and I would consider everyone else doing the same,” Taylor added.

    Right? 2 people–one that doesn’t even exist–so really 1 person said they’re ok with it… But why? How exactly did that conversation go? If he really wants us to consider moving on then maybe he should share that conversation and examine his actions before the public to identify exactly where he made missteps and what sort of reparations he’s made. I mean, he has done more than simply ask his wife and an imaginary being for forgiveness, right?

    Or is the solution here really for everyone else to get over it?

        Not really. In general the founder of Christianity, Paul, disapproved of fucking slaves.*

        I know this is different from US slaveholder practices, but you gotta point out where these self described Christians deviate.

        *edit: i double checked and found myself wrong. Paul apparently never said anything regarding fucking slaves, and under Roman law and practice this was just commonplace.

      I can see how that went too… they argued, she cried, he promised it was just a “stupid phase” and “didn’t really mean anything” and she didn’t leave his ass because everything is in his name and she’s scared to try, so that MUST mean she forgave him and everything is A ok.
