16. Look, I'm an atheist, but I offered my congratulations.
This is not about theology per se. I certainly didn't see any indication that this was about oppressing or hurting someone. In fact she did not make a negative statement about me or you about any specific person.

If we must insert the theology here: As a matter of fact, I require no belief in god to recognize that many times I have fallen short of my own ideals. Whether we call this "sin" or simply bad judgment really doesn't matter, I simply know of no flawless person.

But as I see this post, it has no vast theological implications. It's about a wife who is proud of her husband. What's wrong with that?
