Once again, because I don't. You've never seen me tell anyone they're going to hell because they'd engaged in premarital sex, have you? No, you haven't. And you haven't for the reasons stated above. This isn't to say I couldn't (And boy could I ever), but I don't because I choose not to. Now, if you want me to start, I can lol

If the number is significant from a theological standpoint, who decides what the appropriate number is? I'll admit that it's been several years since I read the bible, but I don't remember any passages that say 'breaking this commandment six times is cool, but seven is too much.'

I never said it had any theological basing. I did say, however, it's a personal preference. Big difference.

I guess what I'm saying is that I see no need to couch your own personal comfort in biblical terms, and that to condemn people based on that logic seems a bit weak to me. Perhaps you can clarify that, though.

Well, you see, you'd have a point if I was couching my own comfort in Biblical terms.
