No, no, Jesus would see the repentant sinner right, and I would never swear or fornicate or steal or lie again – I strove to remember the seven deadly sins, to make sure I missed none of them, and then cudgeled my brains for the Ten Commandments, so that I could promise never to break them again – although, mind you, I’ve never set up a graven image in my life.
