Didn't improve their behaviour tho @Dovefromabove. Kill/suppress/torture/bully the populace and then confess and pay before repeat offending.
It doesn't only apply to the rich either. I get the impression with certain religions that it's OK to do pretty much whatever you like as long as you give the celebrant a cheap thrill each week by telling them what you've done.
KT53, funny you should say that,not sure if I'm allowed to mention which religious,but several people I used to work with said it was OK to sin,if you confessed and repented. I said no,you shouldn't do wrong in the first place
Religion is , at best, superstitious claptrap: at worst it's the most evil form of brainwashing ever devised by Man. It's been used as the justification of suppression, control and of murder for millennia.

Interesting slant on it! We were taught that you only got absolution if you repented and did not do it again! Or at the very least had the intention of not committing that sin again. Didn’t realise that I might have carried on being a naughty girl and had the slate wiped clean each time. I definitely missed out there, if they’re correct!
Obelixx, what have you got in your cleaning kit that could remove navy felt tip from a white cotton sheet? Contacted my hair dresser, for a cut and blow dry,she's messaged back,sorry, fully booked till January,so now I'm wondering if she really is,or doesn't want to do my hair for some reason. Thoughts on this?
Just tried to book our dental checkups and next available appointment is mid January. Maybe your hairdresser has just been inundated with people wanting to get themselves tidy before Christmas? And maybe your hairdresser is taking a few weeks off before Christmas to make sure she doesn’t risk having to quarantine over the holiday. Or maybe you are such an awkward customer......!
Re the mark on the sheet - my late mum got some unshiftable stains ( either beetroot or blackcurrant) on a favourite dress. She would borrow the grandchildren’s felt tip pens, and draw petals and leaves round the stains so they looked like a pattern. The felt tip used to disappear in the wash, so she would do different colours next time! I got a hole in a favourite top, and embroidered an acorn over the top of it. I also remember staying in a B and B, and the bedcover had a little bee embroidered on it. The owner told me that a previous visitor had burnt the cover with a cigarette, so his wife had managed to cover it up. Looked really charming.
You couldn't make it up. An extract from the Daily Telegraph yesterday concerning the Insulate Britain protestor who glued his face to the tarmac.
Hadn't seen that but would be interested to know what glue he used. IMT, most of the glue these days wouldn't stick 2 bits of wood together never mind stick someone to tarmac. Is the person still glued in place?......a cheaper form of a "slow down hump " which the Highways Dept. may like to consider for the future
I believe the police used a solvent but they had to cut his hair off with scissors - he did say he wouldn't be doing that again. It's a pity they didn't leave him there to get hungry, cold and sh.....g himself. He might have had time then to reflect how silly he was being but then extremists are beyond reasoning with.

@philippasmith2 - superglue? Certainly sticks skin!
