BTW, it occurs to me if someone is practicing their religion to such a decrepit degree of excrescence so as to invite the likes of me to mock it, unmercifully (and I note, accurately) then perhaps they either need to knuckle down and get it right, or go religion shopping for another brand that is not so easily made fun of ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
