Hi Jennifer,
Which is better -- to have a choice of Door A (church one hour a week) or Door B (jail) -- or, to have a choice of Door A (jail) or Door B (jail)?
Keep in mind, these are people who have been convicted of a crime. The judge is, in no way, obligated to give them ANY choice. Out of the goodness of his heart, he is offering them an alternate, much more lenient choice. Would it have been better for the judge to just say, "Go to jail!" -- no alternative?
Be honest, Jennifer. If you had a choice of spending one hour a week in church or spending a few months in jail -- WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Of course, you can give a cutesy, young militant athiest reply. But, if it is in you -- for once, please give an honest, considered, sincere answer.
Would you give up one hour a week to avoid spending months in jail?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
