    Or as I've said in the past, "Mea Minima Culpa".

    I tried compiling a list of my sins of this type, but it got
    depressingly long.

    Bless me Father for I have sinned. It's been sixty years since my
    last confession. Maybe you want to clear your calendar.
    The advantage of not being particularly religious is that it is hard
    to work out what a sin is..

    That's one of my theological stumbling blocks. I never felt the need
    for salvation from Original Sin or the ones I chalked up on my own.

    Reference Ezekiel 18...

    Oh, the sins of the father thing. I knew the saying but never got as far
    as Ezekiel. Given the catalog of sins, the fathers have been doing a lot
    of sinning lately. A friend felt they would pay for it in hell; I have my doubts.
