~ma for Connie's sister.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
Tep, from here [link] it doesn't look like there's a hard and fast classification of sins as mortal versus venial, but rather the state of the sinner's mind is taken into account when the sin in committed.
I didn't grow up Catholic, so any familiarity I have with the categories of sin is really just from Catholic friends and family.
In the church of my childhood, the message I heard (or at least thought I heard) is that sin is sin is sin. In other words, there aren't a bunch of laws. There is THE law and it doesn't matter where you break it, once you've broken it, you've broken it (and so need salvation from Christ). I think the justification for that teaching came from Matthew 5 [link] -- see especially from verse 17 'til the end.

Oh the hippie f2f confession thing was totally a choice at my church. You could still use the screen if you wanted.

Now, her son is emailing me and apologizing on behalf of his mom, because he's embarrassed. Ugh. I'm just feeling regret about the whole thing. I regret not letting it go because she's a parental figure and the rules are different, and I hate feeling like I'm backing down with other people, because the whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth, and I just want it to die.
FAMILY. I function so much better as an orphan. SRSLY.
smonster, there is NOTHING that's your fault in this. NOTHING. No worries.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dammit now I wanna go comment. "No Christians strapping bombs on themselves and blowing shopping malls? O HAI TIMOTHY MCVEIGH."

Aims, I ALMOST went there, but, like I said, I just wanted the whole thing to die by that point. But, of course, the devil on my shoulder is telling me that I'm a coward for NOT going there.
...So I kind of wish you would.
