Like most of mankind, Senator Craig was caught with his pants down.
"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned..." (Romans 5:12).
"What is man, that he could be pure? And he who is born of a woman, that he could be righteous? If God puts no trust in His saints, and the heavens are not pure in His sight, how much less man, who is abominable and filthy, who drinks iniquity like water!" (Job 15:14-16).
"For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin." (Ecclesiastes 7:20).
"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me." (Psalm 51:5).
"When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;..." (1 Kings 8:46, 2 Chronicles 6:36).
"So He said to him, 'Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.'" (Matthew 19:17, Mark 10:18).
"Who can say, 'I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin'?" (Proverbs 20:9).
"What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. As it is written: 'There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one...'Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God...For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." (Romans 3:9-23).
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us...If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." (1 John 1:8-10).
"If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?" (Psalm 130:3).
Although Senator Craig's statements in the past week (and the media's attention) in the past two days are hypocritical and his past actions on the Senate floor are despicable as regards his unwarranted attacks upon gays and others whose moral code did not meet his and his president's "Christianity," the pictures below show that we are all capable of acts more despicable than anything that Senator Craig managed to do.
The poster graphic below says it all, I think, considering that our country and its Government are regarded by most of us as the best that mankind has to offer ...
