Steve,

I understand what you are saying, and they are all wrong. Cursing is wrong and so is murder, I tell me children that cursing is wrong all the time. I don't mention murder, I assume that they know that one is wrong:-)

I also understand that you don't want anyone cussing at or hurting your family. Neither do I. I would be much more upset at one than the other however, and I would guess that you would be too.

I ask again. In God's eyes, which is more wrong? A man who steals a loaf of bread to feed his hungry family, or the drug pusher who kills an innocent bystander in a drive by shooting? Should both men be condemned to he eternal torture of fire and brimstone, being tormented by demons for an eternity? Would you condemn both men to the same eternal damnation?

I would honestly say that I would rail agianst a God who did that. Just as I would rail against anyone or anything who promoted that. I don't think that is the highest standards of fairness and justice. Do you?

Mark
