The discussion on sin actually begins at
Message 48.
While Rob never "got it", others certainly did. For example in
Message 66, anastisia posted:
I've thought about that, and I shall rephrase.
Sin is personal. Crime is public. Some of them happen to overlap.
Crimes can be punished and laws made against them. We can't make laws agianst sins, and we definitely can't punish someone for sinning. The realm of 'sin' belongs to the soul police.
She, and I can only hope others, actually understands the difference between "sin" and "right and wrong".
Further, she also seems to understand WHY I respond as I do.
In
Message 71 she goes on to say:
I think I've learned by now; when you get adamant about something it is not to be an arse, but to make us think.
Hm...when you see us NOT thinking even with repeated prompts...
If I simply tell someone something they may or may not truly understand. But when they think it through for themselves, THEY become the owner of the information. It is something THEY understand, not simply something assumed on authority.
ABE:
the reply to Rob's specific whine can be found at
this link where I once again explain that I say nothing about Rob's sins. Rob's sins are none of my business, and I do not address them. Rob's posts though are part of a discussion and so open to response and rebuttal.
Edited by jar, : add link to post where I again try to point out the difference between sin and right and wrong.
Edited by jar, : fix link to point to the beginning of the discussion on sin.
