The Gospel According to John Chapter 8 5: Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6: This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

I've read my posts over and over again and I don't see where I said that the little puke should be stoned to death. Oh, wait....you think the guys Jesus was talking to were about to pelt the prostitute with VERBAL stones. Well, I'm sure you've used this argument before thinking you scored major points, but let me assure you, those guys were going to stone the prostitute to death not call her names. See the difference?

I wasn't trying to score a point, just make one. I think Jesus was, as he often was, explaining our inability to stand righteously or superiorly on our own.

From the article:

And an 18-year-old young man who'd gotten his girlfriend pregnant when she was 16 described it like this:
"After the abortion, I felt like my heart had been ripped out. I've thought about it every day for the past two years. I've always felt like I could never forgive myself."

Your comment:

Yeah, well you little puke, two years of guilt sure beats 18 years of child support doesn't it? At least your heart was only ripped out in a figurative sense.

I found your statement to be harsh and heartless. Have you never made a mistake? Never operated out of fear or ignorance? Are you blessedly free of regret or guilt? If so, then by all means call him a "little puke".

(Although I find that it helps to forget that, generally speaking, we all are.)
