If a brother decides he wants to rape his sister repeatedly for years on end, and doesn't see the point of making an apology later, because he's suffered no consequences and "got over it" years ago, it doesn't matter if the sister still wakes up screaming two decades later, it's ok, because Jesus forgave them, they will never see any consequences because the victim is protecting the family (as often happens) by not "upsetting anyone" should the information come to light, because of this horse-shit Christian tradition about "forgiveness" and the make-believe contradictory idea of divine judgement.
Yeah, I've heard stheists say that the very idea of asking Jesus for forgiveness is wrong, because it's the victims of the crimes that should be asked. You just say you're really sorry to Jesus, and don't do it again, and everything's covered. Sure maybe your new view on life might cause you to want to pay reparations towards the victim, but that's optional.
