Drich,
I'm likely wasting my time with this, but will try to frame Downbeat's inquiry in a way you might understand.
Given:
1. Bill lopped off Ted's nut.
2. God exists and has a rule against assault.
3. Bill seeks forgiveness from the aggrieved.
God is aggrieved because his rule was broken. I concede that only god can grant forgiveness for his rule being broken, but this wasn't the grievance being addressed in the OP.
The OP was addressing Ted's grievance: missing nut. Only Ted has the power of forgiveness regarding this grievance.
Do you understand and agree?
