Yes, the perfect set of rules contains one rule "Treat others as you'd want to be treated", and I'm sure Alceste recognizes it. She just wants others to recognize it.
Actually, I'd say you owe Alceste an apology.

The only thing quite obvious is she was lumping him into a category describes by her rhetoric. She called him typical and that is not only pointing out hypocrisy it was judging.

And the mere fact you believe in them doesn't mean they exist. So where does that leave us?
IMO MoF owes me an apology for prattling on about his torture fantasies, which as a non-believer in the claptrap he espouses, I feature prominently in. He has earned my disdain.

There is nothing wrong with judging, as long as you are prepared to accept judgment yourself.
Do you really feel that a person who calls themselves a Christian, and feels the need to boast of their piety, will save anyone from a supposed Hell?
The only one impressed will be those who are prone to self righteousness.

Actually, you owe me an apology, pops. You never once told me you loved me. Now I have "daddy" issues as an adult. *pouts* *sulks*

Awe, sure I luv ya.
And this explains a lot.
It does. Doesn't it? :angel2:
BTW, you owe 18 years of child support payments. If you really did love me, you'd pay up.
God owes everyone an apology for his flawed creation!
Well, you're just a bundle of fun, ain't you?
"God" doesn't need an apology from me. "God" needs a Big Squishy Hug more than anything really.
You could use one, too, it looks like.

Sorry, MoF.
I never said they are perfect. I said they are good people. People that deserve to be happy. You focus too much on the negative, you know. No wonder you think people will end up in hell.
Also, when someone talks about a wrathful and vengeful God and then talks about how "filthy" and "guilty" humanity is in comparisment then then are contradicting themselves. Care to elaborate how someone can suffer from, in lack of better words, some serious mental issues yet be better then those that don´t?
Maybe so, if there were any convincing evidences that there is a God, that we are sinners, and that sin demands apology.
But really, I think it is simply unhealthy to be so obsessed with sin. Life simply does not work that way. People are not some sort of fantasy goblins that will commit misdeeds if given half a chance just because they're like that.
Sometimes I simply don't understand why so many Christians attempt to believe than mankind is such a sorry bunch of people. There is much healthy joy and transcendence to be found within and outside, if we only allow ourselves. One shouldn't have to choose between accepting Jesus and accepting one's own potential for achieving happiness.
