Meanwhile the guy focusing on his own sins is more likely to see them for what they are, without playing moral relativism, and be quicker to seek forgiveness.

"Sins" being actions off target, I'll agree. Still, the self-absorbed part is a good conclusion...but I don't necessarily mean that in a negative sense. I'll probably think of a better word later.

I think we all do it from time to time, as a reality check. I need to make more time for my spiritual studies though. There's a lot I haven't finished reading that you posts in the other thread.

Damn! I was * this close * to being "perfect"!

And, for the record, I still don't see why it's "so hard" to be like Jesus. I mean really. Once you understand what missing the target in thought is, you get to another level.

I think it would be really hard to be and live like Jesus did, especially now. Most People would look on someone like that as a "Stoner", or otherwise "crazy". Sad, but that's how I see it!

Those posts in the other thread are not going anywhere! Good read for a snowy/icy day...
