Thread Name: Lyr Req: Open a New Window (Jerry Herman)
Subject: RE: Lyric to:
I didn't say that it was doctrine that it was ok to sin & be forgiven over & over- I'm sure that "The penitent was taught that he must be truly sorry, and truly committed to not transgressing again" - but I have known far too many who acted as if it was just a game one plays-like parking in a handicap spot "for just a minute" because it was raining--or eating the last piece of pie when no one is looking---or posting songs that have nothing to do with folk music in here with a cute disclaimer :-) None of these sins ever 'really' hurt anyone. It's just a common human trait to want to do whatever they please and not be bothered by burdensome rules.

Joe--that's 5 'Our Goodman's' and 10 'Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Heres' you owe. Go, thou, and sin no more.
