To err is human. All humans err. Don't blame someone for being human, but rather encourage and build them up to love and serve others.
But isn't that really what I said. That none of us is perfect, including myself? The problem is not when one fails here and there. The problem is long term failure to uphold principles.

Every person who lives to 100 will still make mistakes and errors of judgment.
That is okay.
I think there is a "spectrum" where there isn't perfect...even over the long-term... We must measure people on if things like if they are (A) learning from their mistakes and trying not to repeat them, (B) if they love others, (C) if they serve others, (D) some failures are less egregious than others etc...
You can't expect anyone to be perfect...especially over the long-term.
Some mistakes are small....some are huge...in the end we are all humans living our lives as we see fit with our freewill until we get to Jesus.

I don't hold anyone to christian principles (or even notice for that matter); it's not as if I care they aren't 'doing what they are supposed to do'. That said, I'm curious - how is it a 'problem' for you?
If you were the Principal, all the teachers were in the hierarchy.
Prior to going into admin, he was was receiving complaints, especially after giving his students the essay "Why I believe in evolution or Why I don't believe in evolution."

I don't know who you're having this conversation with. It's certainly not with me.

I thought this was a philosophical discussion.
But I'll give you a real life example. When I was a boy in the methodist church in my hometown, there was one particular male member of the congregation who certainly acted holier than thou. He was very good at lecturing others about morality. Of course, everyone in town knew about the long-time affair he was having, which was quite humiliating to his wife, as well as his slightly shady business practices.

LOL. Another example of the secret files Iwas keeps on us atheists.
What precisely is wrong with the essay, "Why I believe in evolution" or "Why I don't believe in evolution"? Either way they got an A if they simply wrote the essay.

Why did all those people complain about your essay question?
(BTW, I took you off ignore. I miss the tolerance and love that exudes from you! It's inspiring to see someone embody such compassion and inner peace.)
Your secret files are incomplete. As I mentioned, it was religious nuts who literally said, "I don't want my son (or daughter) to think". You'd like them.
