RE: The implications of Obama's words at the Charleston shooting memorial.

‘Let God judge them’ is the basest possible nonsense. When human beings commit acts that human morals and human laws have determined to be unacceptable, it is for human beings - and no one else - to sit in judgement. To state otherwise is the equivalent of advocating for the abandonment of police, courts, and penal systems. It is an argument to never punish murderers, rapists, spousal abusers, or child molesters.

Basically our forgiveness is based on our ablity to forgive.. so when i said let God judge them i'm good if he sends them to hell I'm also good if he forgives them. As my life time of sin far outweighs that one instance of their sin crossing over on to my life.
Further evidence of your ability to do anything in the laziest and shittiest way imaginable.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
