I understand what Dru is saying here but I agree with John on the topic of whether the society that is drowning in sin itself has the right to go after the folks who got caught cheating. Firing or closing doors for anyone for this is actually not Christian either. Think of the story of the woman being stoned by the mob and Jesus protecting her. Dru focuses on Christ’s message to the woman - go, repent, live free of sin. John focuses on Christ’s message to the mob - who are you to throw those stones. Both are right. I would still go with the good surgeon, even if he is an atheist. I would simply pray for him, too, as I would pray for anyone. I would still be thankful for him saving lives. Why demand anyone to lose their jobs for mistakes or complications in their personal affairs? Those are private affairs for a reason. Besides, the coach losing his job - that would negatively impact his already hurt spouse and children, financially, on top of the obvious emotional pain. Cancel culture is wrong either way you look at it. We should not feel empowered to cancel anyone thinking we are better than the scapegoat. We are all sinners in the eyes of God, equally.
