So would you say that an autocrat cannot sin when acting as leader of the state, as long as he isn't corrupt? That no mistake he could legitimately make would be sin?

Looking at the OT, it's clear monarchs can mistakenly sin. But judgement and punishment per se are not sins when performed by the sovereign, be it an individual or a state. Sovereignty is an office appointed by God to exercise these functions.

But, again, when they exercise these functions incorrectly and, as a result, inflict suffering, then that is still sin.

Not if it's by due process. Would a Mosaic judge be sinning if he only erred through applying the law?

So, would it not have been a sin if the woman caught in adultery had been stoned to death?

I have come to the conclusion that women are a conspiracy. I see them everywhere I go, they invade my thoughts and dreams. The restroom is my only sanctuary, the last sacred partition.

Women are pretty bad, and should be avoided at all costs for the sake of one's dignity and sanity.

The avoiding them is actually what's driving me insane, dignity aside.

She was not convicted by a court (Christ's trial was also performed illegally). More importantly, several of the crowd had slept with her, and Christ was in fact writing the names of the guilty parties in the dirt.

I can't really give you good advice on how to avoid women, it's not a problem for me.

[The Parkus Empire]

In other words, the stoning of the adultress was pure mob violence, and clearly bullshit since they let the man she was with off the hook.

That's one interpretation of many.

I would say that jury trials are equally mob rule. Just because the mob is selected randomly doesn't mean it's inherently more rational.

The original idea was the juries would be selected from amongst the better sort of person. Mob rule juries are an invention of the 20th century. Originally, juries were aristocratic.

It's going without carnal satisfaction drives me nuts, and now I basically turn into butter whenever a woman flirts with me or touches me. It's most distressing

You can solve that problem by not being a fucking normie.

It's according to court procedure and due process

It's true, if he weren't a normie, it wouldn't be a problem.

All of which the jury can and often does ignore to just go with their views on the matter. And God help the defendant if the jury has the authority to sentence him.

That...may be something that requires a counselor of some sort. You may have trouble expressing your sexuality properly outside of sex. And when I say “expressing your sexuality”, I mean, “expressing your masculinity in a way that is healthy”.

“Neither have I condemned you, now go and sin no more.”

That is not to say you are a malicious person in general, just that you feel intense malice and hatred toward me, and shift that intensity by reading it into me in my sentiment toward you and others. But when I'm hostile, I really unload, like with Soldati. I don't fool around

I dunno, you’re a lot more intense about going after people than Genivaria, they’re just trying to have a discussion and you just want a fight.

You wouldn't doubt if you actually followed along with what I say.

[Farnhamia]

Perhaps you can take your shit with Parkus somewhere else, Soldati? I don’t believe he is the topic of the thread.

This. And when I say "this" I mean discussion of another player as if that person were the subject of the thread. Parkus annoys you? put him on your Foes list and ignore him. Find yourself getting incensed over something someone posts? Stand up, walk away. Don't hit that "Submit" button.

Now you're just ruining the magic of the RWDT.
Terrible, terrible netherworld magic.

And he can do the same for Genivaria and everyone else whom he claims “intensely hates” him. That way everyone is even.
