Let him who is without sin cast the next stone.

You forgot the part about, "Go and sin no more."

You forgot the part about, "Go and sin no more."

Thank you, Mr. Sinless.

I've known, over the decades,

quite a number of pontificating RELIGIOUS types who were habitually asserting at loud volume and in frequent heralded declarations that

THE OTHER FELLOW

must go and sin no more . . .

while carefully hiding, side stepping and wholesale avoiding the fact that they'd rarely to never been able to avoid repeating a sin more than once.

I realize that Hollanders repeatedly seem to construe themselves to be possibly even closer to God than Moses and St Paul in their capacities to avoid sinning the same sin a 2nd time, ever. Alas, in my human frailty, I find myself more than a little skeptical about the veracity of such constructions on reality.

But, hey, IF the Hollanders have a corner on the market of such righteousness, sanctification and tidy boxed pristine loftiness--perhaps they'd be willing to share their secrets with us more common and flawed mortals.

But then, wouldn't that be getting back into the WORKS BASED; TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL; pull one's self into Godliness by one's bootstraps sort of RELIGION?

How does one sort it all out?
