The sinners who are most tolerated and respected are: 1. Powerful, wealthy, well-fed and influential; 2. Arrogant, self-righteous, and proud; 3. Well-connected, well-housed, and well-dressed; 4. Outspoken, demanding and domineering; 5. Self-confident, self-assured, and certain. The sins of such tolerated and respected sinners are the sins which are most tolerated and respected; even though such sins bear much bitter fruit in comparison to the sins of less tolerated and less respected sinners who are: POWERLESS, POOR, HUNGRY, WEAK, HUMBLE, EXCLUDED, HOMELESS, NAKED, RETIRING, DOUBTFUL, INSECURE, VULNERABLE, INFANTS, CHILDREN, WOMEN AND men. PUNISHMENTS for sins are NOT proportional to how bitter are the fruits of the sins and of the sinners who are guilty of the sins. Sinners and sins are TOLERATED to the extent that the sinners and sins are characteristic of POWERFUL PEOPLE. POWERFUL PEOPLE do not tolerate sinners who expose the patterns in how POWERFUL PEOPLE tolerate their own kinds of sins, and are INTOLERANT of the sins of people who are: sick, dis-eased, ill-at-ease, thirsty, hungry, homeless, poorly-dressed, naked, rejected, excluded, oppressed, enslaved, hidden, concealed, out-of-view. We will continue to be unable unable to deal with the bitter fruits of wars, violence, coercion, and terrorism --- so long as the PATTERNS pointed to above are kept concealed and out-of-view.
