Re: OT: Shades of gray?

I agree that's usually the case, but it amazes me sometimes to see how often God finds a way to push people's noses into situations they've said "I would never" about in one fashion or another. :-)

OTOH, I've noticed that many folks who adamently state "never" are
referring to situations and problems that they've not only never had to
deal with, but will almost certainly never encounter for themselves.
e.g., non-veterans over military age who supported the draft, men who
argue against birth control and abortion under any circumstances, etc..
It's easy to be absolute about something if you're certain it will
only directly involve someone else.
