Forgiveness is akin to respect, either of which must be earned rather than merely doled out on lame principle.

All the Chinese people? All the Indian people? All the Russian people? All the Syrian people? All the Saudi Arabian people? All the people who live in the many states that compose Africa? You're telling me that these people - or the vast majority of them - are NOT in fact just ordinary human beings trying to get on with their day to day lives, but are in fact engaged in nefarious plots to bring about the end of the West? Well, fuck. Seems I was wrong about you Drich mate, where do I get this "god" stuff you mentioned? Seems like good shit to hit yo.

Forgiveness is something the perp must earn by showing they have changed not something given away

Then they lack the brains natural selection gave a mongoose . The only real deference between Right wing fundies and Isis is Isis is at least consistent and upfront about there agenda. Most right wing fundies lack the balls to do the same. As a person who knows people who are citizens of countries not friendly with America . I can say with I high degree of confidence most of them don't give two shits about destroying the west . A great many of them would rather focus on fixing where they are . Or are generally fearful of what were going to take from them.

If you mean god well he clear broke you long ago so same answer. Quote:Maybe it is you who has fooled himself into think that just because you dad beat on you are justified in hating someone forever. Nope my relationship with my father was built on mutual respect. He never had to hit me because he knew the consequences if he ever did. That respect would be lost .And i would have no father. Just scum who gives himself the title . And yes I would hate him forever and it would be on him to restore the respect . Just as my children own children would have every right to hate me forever. And it would be my job to do the same as my farther.

Forgiveness has nothing to do the offender, it is solely at the discretion of the person offended, besides there are somethings you just cant conceivably "earn" forgiveness for, like murder for example.
Yes you can by proving your really apologetic for your crime and are willing to modify your behavior

Agreed. Besides the person who most benefits from forgiveness is the person who is able thereby able to move on from it, so mostly the one giving it.

Not necessarily true. It is up to the offended to offer the forgiveness, but if the offender has shown a maintained repentant attitude that is clear to the offended in their words and actions and is satisfying enough to the offended, then it is possible to be forgiven for such things as murder. |
