Yeah. It's not really "I'm not perfect, y'know" attitude. It's more of a "I'm imperfect and not only that but I don't even have to bother because God will forgive me anyways." attitude. With some Christians that is.

With some Christians that is. More of that wild and crazy guy, Martin Luther: "Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly for he is victorious over sin, death, and the world. As long as we are here in this world we have to sin. This life is not a dwelling place of righteousness." "No sin will separate us from the lamb, even though we commit fornication and murder a thousand times a day." "Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to."

That sounds like it could have come from the movie, "Doubt," with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. To paraphrase: Quote:In pursuit of the truth, one often has to take a step away from God. The head nun in the movie, Meryl Streep, lied to the priest of the church (Hoffman) to get him to resign over allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a student at the school, much to the chagrin of Sister James, played by Amy Adams. The movie never specifies whether Hoffman's character was innocent or guilty. It only leaves hints, none of which are terribly conclusive. Thus, even the audience is left in doubt.

I was planning to watch that as well.

It's quite good but a total mind-bender. I saw the trailers when it was in theaters but sort of forgot about it. Caught it on Netflix recently.

Not to hurt people's feelings, etc. People are going to do what they want to do. The main reason to hate them is because they are a legitimate threat. It will come to fighting at some point in the future. Atheists just don't seem to realize it, but ostensibly a lot of laws in the world are an attack on their liberties, yet they accept it laying down.
