MtheGM,

No one is claiming to have solved the problem of evil. No one is claiming that religious people don't sin. I am just pointing out that a person who is continuing to choose a life based on a practice that is repugnant to a religion, can't then credibly claim to follow that religion.

A man who gets into a brawl might turn out to be a Quaker who slipped. A career military officer who also claims to be a faithful Quaker is simply a liar.
