“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.

Especially since he says that because God has forgiven him, everyone else should "consider doing the same", he believes an invisible intangible being no one has seen or heard from is the highest authority and everyone else needs to get with the program.....

It reminds me of abusive Christian men who over-police their wives and say "Oh my wife is subserviant to me, but I'm not in charge, after all, I'm held accountable by Jesus!"
