You're trying to get credit for having high standards, not for meeting them. Having high standards just means you have to work harder to meet them and you have more to lose when you don't. <br /><br />Holding other people in contempt for not meeting your disingenuous standards is aVampire Accountanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144354173991287613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-23042692437100158862013-06-21T01:51:39.906-04:002013-06-21T01:51:39.906-04:00By the way, thanks for the graphic and great capti...By the way, thanks for the graphic and great caption.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906546940408742913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-28951603080723044172013-06-20T22:06:54.087-04:002013-06-20T22:06:54.087-04:00BB, I see how that last statement could work as a ...BB, I see how that last statement could work as a conditional with an implied "The idea is that . . .

To clarify, <i>if you wanted to be a Christian, then</i> you should try, you will fail and you should ask forgiveness.
