I don't. There are people who are drawn to gossip, spreading
scandal, and messing about in other people's lives. These people
observe and speculate on the lives of others all the time. Some of
them are drawn to particular religious groups because it gives them an
outlet for controlling others. I do believe that the past of these
people does not bear scrutiny.
