A letter to a friend:
(I am terrible at spelling and automatic spell check frequently changes my small words. I often miss it. I believe the spelling and grammatical errors are corrected)
I am sorry to bother you again, but I had an odd thought.
If people that correct your grammar are kind of "jerks":
then, Jesus must have been a Royal Jerk of all time because, according to the writings that have survived, he is always criticizing everybody. Nobody does anything good enough for Jesus and we are all imperfect "sinners."
For example, at the well where the townspeople were going to kill that woman for committing adultery, Jesus made all the people see that they were just as bad, and broken, and "sinful" as this woman and they all left without fulfilling their mission. In the end, everyone just felt bad about themselves. What a Royal Jerk he was for pointing out those personal faults and making everyone feel so bad that they just went home.
In fact, if you really believe what is written, it is not possible for anyone to do anything correctly and we are all living our lives in hopeless, "sinful error," and mistake. I cannot imagine a more powerful manifestation of being a jerk than espousing THAT philosophy.
Perhaps I missed something?
