I said I was twice reminded of the stumbling block concept. If you're interested, the second person who reminded me of it was Heavenly of #M2M who is ostentatiously religious but a mean, malicious gossip. Her faith enables her behavior rather than change it.

She could buy a private jet if she got a dollar every time she asked forgiveness. But her behavior never changes with forgiveness. She just does it again and again and again. The epitome of the stumbling block - someone who demonstrates that morality comes from within not without
And because she relies on the forms of faith, her behavior is immoral - not in the terms of modern society that thinks all immorality is sexual, but in the sense of a person who knows right from wrong and chooses to do wrong.
Yes, I am an atheist, but I was raised a Baptist and some of that worldview remains. The concept of someone's behavior causing another to err is still with me, though not in terms of impeding their faith, but in terms of creating apathy, despair, and cynicism.
