Forgiving a man who rapes your son is quite another. Some actions cannot be forgiven, regardless of the contrition of the perpetrator. Do you think that if a man shot and killed your wife, he should be allowed to go free if he is sorry enough? Or how about this: the guy who shoots your wife "accepts Jesus into his heart" while he is on death row. Then he is executed. Thirty years later, when you die and "go to heaven", you find the guy sitting on a cloud having lunch with your wife. Make sense to you?
