[Juno]

an adage mostly founded on socio-economic reasons. Contrary to popular belief, the Good Book has changed an innumerable number of times. The Bible’s kind of turned into one huge game of Telephone, in a way, and I think that many of the original meanings have changed or lost context over the hundreds of years.

Hey, my beliefs are based on the same book too, but it has to be understood that everything in it has to be viewed in a historical context – it might have been the Word of God, but it was written by Man (and put together by Man, as well – the Apocrypha, all the books that didn’t get into the original version of the Bible, are an interesting read if you can find it), who is fundamentally flawed. That means that the true Christian scholar must differentiate between the Word of God, and the passages that are merely cultural anachronisms.

The income brackets change depending on which sociologist you’re speaking to, but it’s basically what it all boils down to. And birds of a feather flock together, as the saying goes. While it is not unusual for lower, mid, and upper-mid classes to live in generally the same suburban neighborhood, the upper-class (‘new rich’) generally live in more secluded areas, send off their kids to private school, and generally try to emulate the members of ‘old money,’ or the upper-upper class. To put it another way – if you go to a public school, the rich kids are probably upper-middle class. Bill Gates is upper-class. The Rockefellers are upper-upper class.

A modern orthodox Christian take on the Bible says that it is not a sin until you actively decide (use your free will) to sin. Everyone is tempted, both in thoughts and dreams; but it is up to the Christian whether to turn that temptation into a sin.

However, I think that this matter is a minor sin with Catholics, who must confide in their priests during Confession of such matters. It’d be good to remember, though, that while all Catholics are Christians, all Christians are not Catholics.
