Er, if you have had 25 replies from Catholics and 10 were cheeky and 15 were not cheeky, then the degree of cheekiness would be 10/25 or 40%.

Also I suspect there is a third reason for cheekiness: namely, perception. If a person - even a Christian who should know better - perceives someone has been cheeky to him then he is liable to return in kind.

That of course is completely contrary to Christ's teaching of turning the other cheek, rejoicing when we've been falsely accused for His sake, etc.

Or as we teach our children, "two wrongs don't make a right."

DOH about my math! LOL.

Thanks for the correction.

Excellent points, as usual.

However, on this thread . . . I think I’ve been pretty durn Biblically kosher in spirit and letter.
