Breaking rules understandably arouses precautionary sentiments. It is generally assumed that biblically informed thinking and behaviour usually advocate and demonstrate against it. In spite of an ecclesially generated self-loathing because of the common failure to measure up, in most circles certain degrees of rule keeping are nevertheless interpreted as indicative of religious ardency and devotion. In various settings the rules may be spoken or written, while in others they may be unstated, understated, or simply taken for granted, but in either case it is expected that they will be adhered to.
