Is adultery an atrocity? Well, I guess you could call it that if you
really wanted to be strict. I am pretty liberal, and though my repetoire
of thinkable acts generally does not include adultery, I certainly am
capable of it, and would not feel guilty about it, let alone consider
it an atrocity. This is not to say that I would do it without hesitation.
Certainly not. But if a man and a woman are separated, but not divored,
making love to that woman is technically adultery.

Atrocity? Even if it violates on of the "Thou-shalt-not's", I still dont
call it a crime.
