This man was not convicted, but cautioned for
accessing some child porn images on the web. He
may have done it in error -- who knows. Now see
the result of the growing 'mob' hysteria.

Is this from the same God that destroyed the entire world by

it be that every single person in the world was guilty except
Noah and his clan?
Hmmmmm...
Yup. That's the one. Guilty as charged <g>
Now, all of that being said, I know, Bob W, that you were
simply presenting a much earlier version of the
Blackstone/Jefferson sentiment, and not holding out the Bible
as a model of consistency. I just couldn't resist.
I guess (playing Devil's advocate for a moment) that the
answer would be that Abraham was telling us what we humans
should do. "Do as I say, not as I do," I suppose.
Well, I reckon Abraham had a much better sense of justice than God had, and
was telling God what he/she/it/they should do.
Except, of course, that We Are All Guilty, thanks to the glorious concept of
original sin.
Cheers,
