    That’s the money quote from the article. This makes me happier that anything the SLTrib has published in a long time. 😆 :clap:

    True. Perhaps this is just my nature, but when I see a situation with vague rules or none written … I see it as “permission” to write my own. I get excited about it. 😈

    lol. You know I kind of do too. In my attendance of the many different churches of my friends I found the myriad of strictly written laws in some to be clear but also way to confining and even confusing, particularly with ultra orthodox Jewish rules, especailly kosher rules where the rules are so long and defined you can base an entire religion just off of that.

    I’m with Brian — fewer rules = greater rules when the situation is in the hands of people with conscience.
