Well, then, I guess it's okay!

Sen. Vitter caught in hooker scandal.
"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said in a statement.

"Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there --with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way," he wrote.
And just who are you to question God's forgiveness? If God says that Vitter is forgiven, then that's that. I mean, if you can't trust the designer of the Candiru, who can you trust?

In Judaism, we are supposed to repent our sins on Yom Kippur. However, the tradition is that God forgives only those sins against Him. Any sins against other people must be atoned through making it up to that person. So, in other words, you can't just screw someone over, then go to synogogue and ask God to forgive you.

Your candiru link seems to be broken.

Why? Why did I follow the link?

Yes, it's the Candiru! Intelligently designed to swim up your penis and lodge itself in your urethra, erecting sharp spines to keep itself in place. And don't forget . . . Jesus loves you!

It's even worse for me, considering I could fit a whole colony of those things up there.
