Emotion is unjust in a court of law, but not when it comes to personal forgiveness. Rationality does not always require lack of emotion. Say a man's daughter is raped. Is his hatred of the rapist irrational? No. Is his wish that the perpetrator be punished irrational? No, because rationally it serves the purpose of keeping others safe. Is his judgment clouded by his emotion? Yes, but it does not hinder his ability to see the situation clearly. In fact, he may see the situation more clearly than those who look at it without emotion, if such a thing is possible.

Besides, what about being forgiven simply for finding Jesus is just? Is that justice for the victim? Is it fair that some deity does the forgiving for them? While I find legal matters to be unjust at times, I find them far more just than the Christian way of handling things.
