I guess you are wondering what is withthe definition. I know most of us have heard the saying every person is unique. My question is why do we hold everyone to the same standards? The bible it says this is how we should act. This is how we should strive to live our life! This is good. I agree. When we fail does that give people the right to talk or to show or think they are better than we are (to me this is throwing stones)? even God didn't do that. Maybe I am getting this wrong, but every story that i have heard of or read if the person was truely sorry for an action then God forgave them and told them to sin no more. True evil that is punished is the kind that the person feels like they have done no wrong when the action has hurt others or they did it out of enjoyment. Do you enjoy talking bad about people, whether they are celebrities, the poor people down the street, or the very nice old couple that lives accross the street that just can't keep up with their cat? We are people we are not gods. We make mistakes. So what is the difference between doing the good Lord's work and holding someone accountable to the Lord's moral standards? Maybe we need to look at both sides of the story before we throw stones!

I always try to look at both sides before judging...
