Yup, that's me, Saint El!

Is it like drinking before noon?
Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.
To my great regret, I've let this highbrowed thread languish all day. Y'all have seriously bypassed me. But, Rue, I have to object. What on Earth-that-was is wrong with drinking before noon? Some of my best ideas........
Well hell, maybe I'd better drop that. Some of them ideas did have a problem about working out. Not that I ever personally drank before noon, mind you.
And then there's Chrisisall, claiming to always lie. Like we didn't already know that, dude. Must be the wages of drinking before noon.

It's always after noon somewhere.
The same logic circumvents the "never drink alone" rule as well.
Just drink in spirit with the people living in the place where it's after noon.
And, for those keeping score on test results... Straight to hell for me 
Nice to know I can now add adultery-by-thought to my list of sins. Who knew?

Are you concerned about going to Hell?

Well, you can learn something even from the fairy tales sometimes. :)
We need more mutual understanding.

I'm more concerned about being abducted by aliens and taken to the fourth planet of Betelgeuse; it has a higher probability of actually existing--unless you mean the metaphorical Hell where people are forced to watch endless Brady Bunch re-runs and there's no Joss? Nope, that's fantasy, too.

That's true, fairy tales often contain useful morals buried within; but I can take or leave them as I see fit, and few advocates of fairy tales try to force others to follow those morals as though they were law. If they did, they'd embody the concept of real evil. Get my drift?

On topic is today's moral test:
Today I faced the legal ethical dilema of what to do if the person you are bullying in the hallway outside court collapses from a panic attack. Do I:
a) Pretend not to notice and continue my barrage of intimidation and threats.
b) Turn and walk away whispering 'I didn't do it'.
c) Turn and walk away ducking into the Baliff's office to let them know about the problem before continuing on my way.
d) Slap her into submission and inviting others nearby to join in (ala the movie 'Airplane').
e) Admit that, despite my threats, jail was not a realistic probability and try to calm her down.
Note for the record that the woman was a plumpy 40-ish woman charged with Failure to Obey a Stop Sign.
I think what set her off was my evil laugh and my joyful description of the meaning of the term "conveyed forthwith to jail".

Yeah, fairy tales are not religious scriptures since they are thought to be just our imagination an scriptures are thought to be real.
If you choose to think that some religion's scriptures are fairy tales; then of course you don't have to take them as fact. In the end it's your opinion.

Forcing something on someone is your thought of real evil?

Question everything, take what is good.
