That heinous criminal in Colorado - murdered his wife and their two children to "get them out of the way" so he could be with his mistress - he announced that he has found God and is forgiven. His relatives have publicly stated they forgive him. I am shaking my head.
There is a difference between forgiveness and foolishness.
It used to be that Christian forgiveness required repentance. That meant turning your life around in a definitive way and making retribution for the damage you had done. Nowadays, forgiveness often seems to mean nothing more than a prayer.
Forgiveness maybe therapeutic for those doing the forgiving, stops them from ripping themselves emotionally for life.
HOWEVER forgiving is not pardoning, it maybe helpful to forgive, but is it the height of dangerous idiocy to forgive AND forget
They are still accountable and responsible for their past evil.
You forget and pardon the proven potential of the psychotic at your peril and the peril of all others.
And that’s why god is so popular...it’s easy, cheap, fast, convenient, and all you have to do it is repent to cheesus and pray a couple of nonsense prayers, and puff...all your sins will be forgiven.
Anybody can say they found gawd, to get away with their crimes.

Posted by CliffordCookChristian Nationalists like to insist that the United States of America is a Christian nation. What do the facts show?
Posted by KilltheskyfairyI know where we can get some really big rocks…
Posted by CliffordCookIf the Christian Bible is such a great book, how come most Christians can’t bring themselves to read it all the way through even once?
Posted by CliffordCookIf Christians really believe in a god that is all powerful and will provide for all their needs, why do they keep on demanding taxpayer support for their struggling religious schools?
Posted by CliffordCookI groaned when I saw this Christian Nationalist Christmas meme posted by one of Donald Trump's supporters in Iowa. Then, I smiled when I saw how many of his Facebook friends had reposted it.
