Why the "for all have sinned" concept is harmful.

We're seeing a response to the revelations of the behaviors of Donald Trump, Roy Moore and Harvey Weinstein that includes accusations (and sometimes confessions) of inappropriate behavior by many others, most notably Senator Al Franken. In most cases, it looks like the accusations are grounded in reality. The response from the conservative side of the aisle is tending to "See, everybody does it. It's not a big deal."

No, no, no! Everybody doesn't do it. There is no It. Saying all have sinned is corralling vicious sociopaths in with a large group of people whose actions and attitudes span the spectrum from Trump/Moore/Weinstein to thoroughly decent people caught up in misunderstandings. You might as well put the Vegas shooter in the same category of sinner as someone who was in a playground scuffle while in elementary school.

Should Senator Franken apologize? I don't know. He did. Does he regret his actions? Pretty sure he does now. Does he belong in the dustbin of history along with Trump, Moore, and Weinstein?

No ****ing way.
