Remember, he was a sexual pervert by the time he had his own daughters. He was already cheating on Eve when he was on the road, using company money to pay for whores wherever he went. I wonder how the fudged those figures to Fred Jordan? I bet that's why he always ate cheap and walked for hours looking for the cheapest motels, cause whores were expensive and he didn't have a lot left over for food and board.
He probably justified that because he was sexually "needy" and his wife (the ungrateful woman) wouldn't abandon the kids to travel with him and give him sex. He actually said that in one letter, if you can believe it. He blamed Eve that she wouldn't forsake the children to travel with him to supply him sex. Talk about a sick shifting of blame.
After a few years of whores, he apparently began diddling his daughters. I think what was left of his "christian" conscience bugged the crap out of him and he would wail how weak and sinful he was but oh my how he loved God and bla bla bla. The solution was either to stop what he was doing or find doctrines that justified it.
Hey hey hey, the birth of the Law of Love!
But on the way there, he grabbed all kinds of quotes like the one by Martin Luther that said "God help me if I ever claim to be anything but a sinner saved by grace." And Berg rode that one like a hobby horse in ways Luther would roll over in his grave to hear about.
And that quote by so-called "saint" Dominic where they accused him of being a drunkard ("Yes, that's true.") and you're a thief Dominic ("Yes, that's true.") and you're this and that and a rotten awful sinner, and finally Dominic says, "Yes, that's true. I'm all of those things AND WORSE. But look at Jesus, isn't HE wonderful?"
Bwaaaaaaaaaa-aaaapppp! Wrong answer! Cop-out!
Whether Dominic said that is questionable, but it sure suited Berg's doctrines. "Hey! I'm every vile thing you want to say about me and heh heh heh I'M EVEN WORSE, but hey, chill out, dude, that's quite cool. Yes, I'm bad, I'm very, very bad but Jesus is good, which is quite fortunate, since I happen to be saved by his grace."
(At this point, please pass around the barf bags.)
So Berg seized on that and next thing you know "we're all rotten awful sinners but isn't Jesus wonderful"? Oh yeah. Jesus is wonderful. But I don't see any of his wonderfulness in YOUR life Bergie-boy.
Next thing you know Berg is laughing how his son Aaron at 6 or 7 years of age is playing his ukelale and saying, "I was a dirty rotten sinner until the age of 6 and then I accepted Jesus." Berg thought that was cute!! Where did Aaron get that idea? Huh? It was Berg's doctrine by then.
Berg had a doctrine that excused his vile lifestyle and at the same time could be used as a hammer to beat down any critics.
