This is more commentary than anything...heh...but here goes.

There will always be people who take things to the "N"th degree...I often wonder how effective we are in spreading the Gospel when we take things too far in one direction. It is easy to be either too lax or too critical of people. Indeed, it is about finding the middle ground. I'll give you an example. My parents, who are not regular church attendees were told by an uncle that "since you don't go to my church, your probably going to hell". This is an exact quote. Now...Considering my parents irregular attendence during their life (when I say irregular, I mean rare), does something like that really help the cause of Christ? Sure it is an isolated incident, but how many other people are on the extreme fringe? (Be it as in allowing anything, or be it as in condemning everyone) Just something I've pondered over, and I think it does go right along with what you are saying. I could be wrong.
