So yes, you do choose to distort words until all meaning is lost. Well, those who wrote the Constitution tried to keep “treason” from being used as a catch-all excuse for tyrannical “justice”, but nothing lasts forever.
You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you".
Hey, Pastis isn’t the one confessing!
Oh, and for that comment, say 3 Hail Marys.
