Christian self righteousness and myopia are not good characteristics.

Be honest with me: the action's of this guy are something you really feel are humorous and worth of admiration?

You obviously felt compelled and motivated enough to respond to my feelings about it in a quite a negative way.

That speaks a lot more about you than it does me.

I think it’s funny. They obscure the picture in the story, but a few days ago I Googled it and found a non-obscured version. There is a backing for the sculpture so it can only be seen by the ex and her shack-up. Neighbors can’t see it.

No.

Reread.Humorous. You made up that part about admiration. It's that self righteous thing you have going on. Gotta make everyone else less since you see yourself as less.

Get over yourself. We're all human and we all have humor in our lives - even you if you'll let it in.

Who knows, after spending a little time with her you might think this guy didn’t go far enough.

OR, you might realize why the wife wasn't happy with him and feel sorry for her that he's still childishly tormenting her.

We are all human, and we are all with sin. But Christ never gave us the option of simply playing that excuse card from the bottom of our deck. "Gee God, come on! I'm only human you know."

Not only are this man's actions childish (as I first posted), they are disturbing. To go through so much effort to taunt and "get even" (at least in his own mind) is profoundly wicked. Forgiveness, mercy, and yes even loving those who have wronged us are the qualities to aspire to, whether it is a serious or 'humorous' thread. We don't turn our values on or off so easily, in fact it is impossible.
