I've always said this about being a Christian: if you don't like the rules, don't join the club.

I expect Catholics leaders to get involved in local issues and fight for the poor but that's also an '*' judgment call on Bishop Tobins behalf.

I don't expect to follow his pets projects but when it comes to the Ten Commandments, yes, I do.

Want a religion with less rules? Become a pagan.

Although I frequently ask myself "What would Satan do?" I don't think that there is more than a tangential connection with Christianity in these comments.

I think that "strict laibility" has more to do withour accepting the asterisk. Everything we buy with a warranty is cluttered with asterisks. Because if it is not mentioned, it is a source of possible liability. I recently bought a hand tool at Harbor Freight. It came with a 3 page manual. The first 2 pages were generic advise on the use of tools and possible injury. The theory of "strict liability", not helpfulness, is the cause of this. The asterisk is simply about avoiding "run on" paragraphs.

In any case, we have just become accepting of asterisks and the idea that there is always something more to be said.
