THROWING THE FIRST STONE
Imagine this
You are
A young or middle-aged married woman
Having an affair
Unbeknownst to you
Your husband finds out about it
He is irate
He rounds up a group of your
friends
Finds you
And corners you in a dark alley
They all
Have stones and rocks
And there intent
Is to do you bodily harm
Out of nowhere
A man appears beside you
Looks straight at your husband
And the irate group
He begins to rattle off
Specifically all the sins
These people committed
Pornography, sadomasochism
Looking at someone of the
opposite sex
With a lustful heart
Cheating on your income tax
Defrauding someone
Drinking, drugs, lying
Being mean to your kids
He hits on one
That applies
To each person individually
He says,
“If any of you are without sin
Throw the first stone”
One by one
They all walk away
Including the husband
Finally
When they are all gone
He puts his arm around you affectionately
And says,
“Woman, where are your condemners
Has no one condemned you”
“No one sir,” you say
“Then neither do I
Go and do it no more”
You who are perfect
In thought, in word, and in deed
Cast the first stone
