Christians forgive themselves

[Doubting Thomas]

I remember having a number of conversations with pastors and youth leaders about forgiveness of others and forgiveness of god... I generally got the answer that gods forgiveness is ultimately more important than that of your fellow man and as long as he forgives you then it's all gravy.

In other words, oh you punched Billy in the face? Tell god about it and ask for his forgiveness. Oh? Billy? Nah fuck Billy, he's fine.

Sure, there are probably a good majority of Christians that know you should talk to the injured party and ask forgiveness. In my experience there are just as many who are willing to use "god's forgiveness" as a cop-out to extricate themselves from the situation and onto their seat of piety that just so happens to be looking down on those around them.

And if you notice, somehow all those Christians just happen to know that God forgave them for anything they did to other people.

My statement comes from my knowledge of Christianity and 'SM' knowing nothing about it, he gives an opinion through his biased view.

What was that I said? Oh yeah: http://atheistforums.org/thread-21785-po...#pid536591

I wonder if you even realize that replying like that makes you look smug with a superiority complex?
