Reminds me of that old poster I saw in college:

“If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?”

Seems Walter passed the test. Your reward is in Heaven, sir.

I heard the same phrase in Sunday School, back in the olden days. The Sunday School teacher gave us an exercise that week, to put ourselves on trial for the “crime” of Christianity.

We were to examine the evidence as though we were the jury. We could not confess to the “crime.” It had to be strictly evidence based. We couldn’t add new acts to the evidence. It had to be based on things we did before the trial began.

Most of us (myself included) couldn’t come up with enough evidence for a conviction. I’ve played that little exercise many times since then, as it helps me become guilty of the charge sometimes. The more I play it, the better I get at getting convictions.
