Naomi Ruth,
Your parents gave you a set of powerful names. Such amazing women both Naomi and Ruth were. They were also quite HUMBLE. I wonder why your name is so HUGE in your signature. Shouldn't G_d be great, and you small? It is almost as if you have more love for yourself than He Who made you.

This raises an interesting theological question:
If the subject consciously thinks that the motive for doing an action is so that others (e.g. you) will think that the subject is "more holy", does that negate the holiness of the action? I think it does.
Your self-opinionated, arrogant, typically Jewish, loudmouthed throw away line has now condemned Miss Ruth to always consider how her name should be written - in doing so, you have blocked an avenue of Salvation.
I hope you are pleased with yourself!
To broaden the matter slightly, i
s not the natural action the one that is guided by God? To suggest otherwise surely places your judgement above that of God Himself.
Miss Ruth's name is there and is blessed by G
od (Note my keyboard doesn't have the same fault as yours.)
In making your comment, can it not be said that you are being "More Holy Than Thou"? Here is a passage that is remarkably apt:
Let me quote Jesus:
M't:23:1: Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
M't:23:2: Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
M't:23:3: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
M't:23:4: For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
M't:23:5: But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
M't:23:6: And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
M't:23:7: And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
M't:23:8: But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Miss Ruth is a joy of the congregation:
1st Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1st Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
