John Savard The statement at the top is a half-truth. It would imply that if a sin has been made a crime, Jesus would not forgive one for it. To call the statement "twisted ****" is also wrong. There are some actions that while technically "crimes" are not sins, are not immoral, and for which forgiveness by Jesus would not be sought. |

Ever since the Fugitive Slave Laws were repealed, though, I didn't think the United States had a serious problem in this area. (I don't consider Prohibition to have put the status of the United States as a free country in question, even if it was an unwise choice.) John Savard |
