The most common excuses people use today are, "I thought" or "I didn't know". Fortunately, modern governments have grown tired of those excuses, and have banned them.  Unfortunately the successful substitute people use for an excuse is, “I was temporarily insane.” Somehow, most western nation courts are buying that excuse. We learn today, God will not. There is a high price of Ignorance. We need to remove all excuses, and get right with God.
