"Christians aren't people who believe they are without sin; they're people who know they're sinners..." - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 12:42 30
- the problem being that far too many see this as a carte blanche to continue said sinning - Guy Jun 17, 12:52 2
  - well atleast absolution is not anymore only a matter of money - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 12:54
  - "Aw, I'll just make it up at Confession. A few Hail Marys should get me forgiven." -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 12:53
- That's fine, but the judging of others is where I have a problem. (Which I don't know that Ensign has ever done) -- nm - con_carne Jun 17, 12:50 6
  - calling Bill Clinton's affair "an embarrassing moment for the country" sounds pretty judgy, if not entirely inaccurate. -- (link) - znufrii Jun 17, 12:54 3
    - We spen two years talking about bills blow job and Monica's dress. That's embarassing for a country. - ty97 Jun 17, 13:01 1

  - did'nt Jesus tell us NOT to judge others? - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 12:52 1
    - nuke 'em all, let God sort it out. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 13:00
- that's probably the ideal, but you can't tell me you've never met someone who doesn't think they're more moral because they're Christian. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 12:49 6
  - First of all, I don't think that has anything to do with the quote. - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 12:58 1
    - i think it's pritty hard to give caracteristics on such broad terms as chistians as such - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 13:03
  - Therein lies the problem with religion. If you deeply believe that your morality exists because of your religion, it's only logical that you'd - musubi Jun 17, 12:55 1
    - a big part of my moral exists becourse OF religion even if i am an atheist - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 12:58
  - i've never meet a chistian who did not belive that in some form -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 12:51
  - I think DDK is right, it's accurate in theory, but probably truly pretty rare in reality. -- nm - Subversive Jun 17, 12:51
- While mildly uncomfortable with the last few words of that quote, I generally agree. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 12:44
- theologically speaking it's correct in the most christian devotions - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 12:44

- This is my view, and I'd say the view of most of us. -- nm - nubby Jun 17, 12:43 9

      - adorable. i could pinch you. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 12:46
    - The problem is when people make a big stink about how important it is not to do X, and it turns out they've secretly been jamming X the entire time :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:45 5
      - Well, if X would stop wearing that short skirt at the office all the time... - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 12:50 4
        
        The problem is if you judge me for something you are secretly doing you are a waste of skin and my time -- nm - con_carne Jun 17, 12:53
        
        I have respect for someone who joins AA, but falls off the wagon every now and then. As long as they get back on the wagon. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:52 2
        
        In this case, it would be more like AA's name were actual Non-Drinkers Anonymous. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 12:58 1
        
        or Non-Drinkers Namedropped. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:02

The mint's gone overboard with the whole commemerative coin thing. How can anyone give a crap when we've got 57 different quarters (with 56 more starting next year), - Ender Jun 17, 12:41 1
- I think they're nifty to collect, makes getting change sort of exciting like opening up a present; then again, I'm a dorko. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 17, 12:47

I'm trying to avoid 'Thanks to you and your team'. Which alternative is better? - ty97 Jun 17, 12:36 17

  - "....but I won't, dumbass." - musubi Jun 17, 12:49
  - "Well then, go ahead." -- nm - con_carne Jun 17, 12:49
  - In considered this. I'm still considering this. - ty97 Jun 17, 12:43

- I like what's in your subject line better than both. - Subversive Jun 17, 12:38 6
  - 'Thanks' feels too informal to me, for this. - ty97 Jun 17, 12:39 4
    - "My sincere thanks to you and your team" formalizes it up. -- nm - Subversive Jun 17, 12:42 3
      - oh be specific for what you are thanking them for. "I would like to extend my thanks to you and your team for the effort you put into the project" etc -- nm - Andie Jun 17, 12:43 1
        
        Yeah, I assumed that would go on the end. -- nm - Subversive Jun 17, 12:45
      - Bam! Formalize it up a notch. -- nm - Emmeril Legasse, ESQ. Jun 17, 12:43

Redmond - hate crimes come into play when it's motivated against a protected class. There's nothing in them about it having to be a minority. - Reagen Jun 17, 12:36 10
- If everyone's a protetcted class, then why have hate crimes? Why not just have humans? - ty97 Jun 17, 12:38 8
  - Everyone is, and isn't. Hate crimes don't enter into it for an attack on Yankee fans or stamp collectors, for instance - Reagen Jun 17, 12:41
  - [deleted] 6
    - There's where we fundamentally disagree. -- nm - ty97 Jun 17, 12:47 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        I don't. But I don't want the law to be based on guy reaction. - musubi Jun 17, 12:52 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Or gut reaction either. (nm) - musubi Jun 17, 12:53
