Dear Romulus,

In that the poster to whom I was replying seemed not to recognize that different means to the same end may differ in their moral valance, that was the point that I addressed.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

He still doesn't recognize it.

Thank you for such a carefully-thought-out and well-written post. You are quite right. For my part, I am often appalled at the insensitivity of my own conscience, and though I pray that God would show me my hidden sins, it's rather dreadful to think that someday He actually will. (Before my death, I hope, so that I can make an honest repentance.)

So, you're getting married! Good, good, good. Wonderful for both of you! I pray that the Lord of the Marriage Feast will give you and your bride every possible joy and blessing.

"...different means to the same end may differ in their moral valance..."

He still doesn't recognize it. (Referring to yourself.)

You can't mean that.

End: I want to give my son a birthday cake.

Means #1: I buy him a cake.

Means #2: I break the display window at a bakery and steal a cake.

You don't think the choice of means makes a moral difference?
