Yeah! And let's do the same for adulterers and adulteresses and those filled with pride, and those who say nasty things about me, and those who steal, and those who think mean things about their spouses or parents and etc. etc. etc.

Jesus said that those who "scandalize the little ones" should have a millstone hung around their necks and be thrown into the sea.

He didn't say that about adulterers, or any of those others you mentioned.

Don't you think adultery scandalizes "the little ones?"

..."scandalize the little ones"...

Just out of curiosity, is scandalize sort of a Catholic word? I mean, I know it's a real word in the dictionary and everything. It's just that of all the people I associate with I can't recall hearing anyone except my Catholic friends use it.

There are a number of words that would tend to be associated with different religions or with being a Freeper, etc. and I was just wondering whether "scandalize" is kind of a Catholic thing.
