Why do people believe her.

In the eyes of the church both are equally bad.
The first scenario is worse from an ethics perspective, IMO. Fraternizing with employees is not a minor offense. Creates all kinds of conflicts of interest that could easily be avoided.
The second scenario is morally wrong, but between the man and his family exclusively. Anything else is just gossip.

Good thing contrition and forgiveness of sin, as well as earthly forgiveness is such a prominent theme in Christianity.

It is, but part of contrition is not doing the same sins repeatedly. Otherwise, it's not really contrite. Is it?

**I beg of your forgiveness in advance for the perhaps overly lengthy post.
Actually I think if you’re Catholic it’s as simple as ducking into that little box and saying your sins and trespasses, Priest prescribes a combination of Hail Marys and Our Fathers, and bam - clean slate to start anew.
Of course I’m being facetious, it’s much more complicated and individualized than anyone can accurately predict in the case of each person. But I don’t disagree with you on those points. Now if you’re indirectly referring to Trump himself, then I personally won’t speculate as to what affairs he may or may not have had. But if I just had to make a guess on it, I would say there would probably have been no need to be contrite after the alleged Stormy episode because my intuition tells me he was “cured” of it after that stressful event. Also I should add that I’m not even 100% convinced that anything actually happened with Daniels. Surely no one would doubt that extortion based on a fictional event used as the threat isn’t a completely rare phenomenon.

Now we are honing in on where I was trying to go with this thread
In the OP I stated "As a practicing Christian" and most assumed that meant me but what if I meant both of them. Are either really Christian at all?
As you have pointed out, they seem to do it over and over while being married. Hence claiming to be Christians, but by action not being Christians. If we want change in politics, why do we keep letting the same profile (D or R) keep being the choice? Is it us (the voter) that needs to change to get better candidates in the first place?
Hence posted here on the Political Talk board.

You’re minimizing Bill “#metoo” Clinton’s escapades! Yes he got a BJ and a tongue up his anus from a young intern in the Oval Office as the world’s most powerful man. But, Juanita Broaddrick accused Clinton of raping her in 1978; Leslie Millwee accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her in 1980; Paula Jones accused Clinton of exposing himself to her in 1991 as well as sexually harassing her; and Kathleen Willey accused Clinton of groping her without her consent in 1993. And he paid most of a million dollars to settle Jones’ law suit.

Married man has some sort of sex with a porn star
And you maximize the allegation against Trump. He may have had “some sort of sex” with a known prostitute, but its never been proven or admitted to. Nor have a bevy of bimbos made similar allegations.
Now as a Christian, I cannot speak for God in ranking the affront given to Him from sins. But if I were to guess, I’d say that consensual adultery are both offensive.
However, I’d also have to rank rape a worse sin than adulterous sin!

No such thing as "worse" when it comes to sin... Sin is sin and separates us from God if we choose to continuously walk in it...

One took advantage of his position as president to bang a slut in the oval office. The other paid a whore that sells pussy for a living to sell
Him some pussy.

How about as an atheist?
They're both cheating, and make you a shitty husband that deserves to have any self respecting wife leave you.
What do I win?

We all have our crosses to bear, no man is perfect.
I believe Trump made a mistake if he laid down with Stormy, but he may have paid for it, so was it a business transaction ?
On a side note when most people go to a car dealership to buy a new car , don't most people allow the dealer to ream them out on the deal ? In most cases it is not physical, but a mind rape.
Also , why in the hell did Bill marry Hillary ? Did her hoohaw have that much magical power ?

I've already repented re my words, which MAY be taken as supporting violence to fight evil. There is no doubt, given my own genetic/cultural character that I would have drawn my sword along with Peter and started swinging. We are gone any way you cut it, just a matter of the essence of our parting.
My main error (semantic) in the rightfully questioned Post is employing the "Hitler" analogy. Hitler was pure ideological-based evil; a ruthless 'leader' who rallies dutiful Christians to fight back to an ideological evil System which attempts to destroy Christianity, via the "fire with fire" sword response would not necessarily be evil. IMO, Jesus would judge according "to the heart", of each individual which He knows well.
King David essentially murdered his adulterous Lover's Husband, as God adjudged Him as "a man after my own heart". Go figure.
Bottom line: I DO NOT encourage any Christian to pick up the sword, for any reason. Their relationship to Jesus is between them and Him. I will only act on my own 'heart's' intuition, at the instant of action, even knowing that "the heart is deceitful above all things".
Thanks for having my back. I like good criticism. God speed, Brother.

We live in an age where we let others think for us. I may not agree with another point of view but I can at least appreciate it if the thought is original.
