So I don't see how it's a strawman.
If we're going to talk theories OTHER than the Christian faith... then I would strongly disagree with your observation on very many grounds. I find it to be grossly untenable. But then we're not discussing NOT Christianity. We are questioning the Christian concept of forgiveness are we not?

After having this brief exchange with you, I can see why many members of this forum (especially the more intelligent ones) refuse to engage you seriously. I'll be joining their ranks.Hillarious! If you're the intellectual elite of atheism there really is no hope!

@ VOID: There is no confusion over the accepted definition of mainstream Christian or members of the Universal Church, as has been widely posted on this forum. That is a belief in line with the Nicene creed. This includes Catholics, Protestants and every flavour in between, but not Mormons, JW's, Christian Scientists, Seventh Day Adventists, etc..
@ Strongbad: You are hiding behind your illogicality. But please keep your eyes closed to reason if you intend to keep deceiving yourself.

Who knows what Adolf's thoughts where before he died...If ultimate justice decides that Hitler is innocent are you saying that you know better? I really don't get that, unless you aren't talking about Christianity and conclude that God isn't just.
Which is the crux of the whole argument.
