Examples from texts

You judge people and cast them into hell for a slight deviation from the same sins you commit — like live in adultery but take a dime and you're doomed!
Du verurteilst Leute und verdammst sie zur Hölle, für eine Sünde, die sich von deiner nur minimal unterscheidet — du darfst ruhig ehebrechen; aber nimm fünf Cent dafür und du bist verdammt!
