who is to blame?

Question

Someone suggest to you that by wearing a red tee-shirt on tuesdays, you might be punished. You look for a way to verify this rumor. You find no truth or proof that it is in fact illegal to wear your red shirt on tuesday.

So you wear your red shirt. Every tuesday for the rest of your life. Everything is great. People still tell you every so often that its illegal, but you've never actually seen one person get arrested or any real proof its illegal.

Then one day, your old and gray, and a man comes up to you and says "You wore a red shirt on tuesday, you must be punished"

He takes you to jail and tortures you until you die.

Who's fault is it that you got tortured? The jerk who tortured you? Or your own fault for not believing the unprovable rumors?

eldad: I wondered LOL

Answer 1

You are wrong; it's actually Wednesday.

The source of the rumor was that on the original Star Trek, aired on Wednesdays from 1966, security personnel who were identified by their red shirts (and indeed, called "redshirts" unofficially) were often killed by aliens.

Answer 2

In real life, "ignorance of the law is no excuse". Neither is "everybody's doing it".
In the spiritual world, you would know whether the red tea shirt was hurting you or someone else. People instinctively know right from wrong.
Are you comparing wearing a red tea shirt to a sin? You know what sin is so you can live a life of sin or wear another color shirt, whatever you chose.

Answer 3

It is your fault. Who wears one color on a certain day of the week everyday for the rest of their lives? You deserve a good smack in the face for your blandness and idiocy.

Answer 4

I would see it as God wanted to teach me something, death is not bad, and how i die matters none, only how i live...
live to promote unity and diversity.... love and non-judgment,,,,

not pride and arrogance,,, like the neo-christian movement,,,
