To: GreatOne; Aussie Dasher
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

That's an outrageous, chickens--t response to this situation.

I agree with GreatOne (though wouldn't go so far as calling it 'outrageous.')

That phrase is one of the most misconstrued sayings of Jesus. It's used by Leftists (who care nothing for any other quotes from the Bible) who would try to excuse away all kinds of Dimocrat misbehavior by calling on us to be 'non-judgmental.'

Jesus wanted us to be judgmental-- maybe not to 'cast stones' at sinners, but certainly to rebuke them.

Also, a minor point:

It should be "Let him who is without sin..." (not "Let he...").

If people are going to use the phrase, they should at least try to get the grammar right...and remember to finish the quote: "Go and sin no more."

Excellent point. I was going to tell another poster to go back and read Matthew's Gospel again about judging others.
