Christians forgive themselves

[WesOlsen]

Christians are very adept at creating ways to forgive themselves. If you look at the traditional structures of the big churches (the catholic church especially) you'll see lots of bolt-on mechanisms for excusing all sorts of crap. One curious setup which i'm sure everyone is familiar with entails visiting your local catholic church and confessing to some bloke in a wooden box, and by the grace of god you'll be forgiven for your sins (whatever they may be). The fact that this process is composed entirely of human faecal matter is self-evident. None of these hierarchical confession mechanisms are explicitly detailed in the bible, and as noted many times before, if god sees and knows everything then he can forgive you directly rather than through some child molester in a wooden box, even though he (god) knows the future and knew you were going to sin when he designed you, which would mean christianity makes no sense whatsoever.
