Maybe it is you who has fooled himself into think that just because you dad beat on you are justified in hating someone forever.

Forgiveness is akin to respect, either of which must be earned rather than merely doled out on lame principle.

If you add up the non westerners (the oppsite of the liberal minded snow flakes who want you to have your safe space with a cookie and milk, human rights everyone is equal) the snow flakes are out numbered 2 to one who you count the oppressive governments and regims (China russia North Korea ISIS militant/radical islam)

How is statement 3 not lazy? you didn't even google the crap and nonsense you believe.

So if 2/3 of the planet wants to take away your snow flake rights and suspend free thought and oppress your expression and limit your personal freedoms and God given rights... Are most people "good"?

Hold on; so you're saying most people living outside good ol' Western Civilisation are personally out to get me and strip me of my "god-given" rights?

All the Chinese people?
All the Indian people?
All the Russian people?
All the Syrian people?
All the Saudi Arabian people?
All the people who live in the many states that compose Africa?

You're telling me that these people - or the vast majority of them - are NOT in fact just ordinary human beings trying to get on with their day to day lives, but are in fact engaged in nefarious plots to bring about the end of the West?

Well, fuck. Seems I was wrong about you Drich mate, where do I get this "god" stuff you mentioned? Seems like good shit to hit yo.

Forgiveness is something the perp must earn by showing they have changed not something given away

Indeed xenophobe BS

And if anybody thinks Americans Christian right have an interest in preserving freedom and rights. Then they lack the brains natural selection gave a mongoose . The only real deference between Right wing fundies and Isis is Isis is at least consistent and upfront about there agenda. Most right wing fundies lack the balls to do the same.

As a person who knows people who are citizens of countries not friendly with America . I can say with I high degree of confidence most of them don't give two shits about destroying the west . A great many of them would rather focus on fixing where they are . Or are generally fearful of what were going to take from them.

9 million or 9 billion starving babies in Africa is not a God problem it is a man problem...<snip>

So...

Millions of starving babies - not a god problem.

Drich's loan - god problem.

Hallelujah!

You got it right. As long as God is part of your good old boy network, the suffering of others isn't either one of your's concern. Let them look at what you are doing right and reflect on the fine example of why God looks out for the Dricher. Then maybe they'll figure out how they can get right with God too. And idiots like this think they are the epitome of morality too. Barf.

[Harry Nevis]

Sounds more like kidnapping than love.  But whose knows what any word means when talking to christians.

How so?

Didn't your father train you how to be a man and then test your training?

He didn't drive me to a point of hopelessness and despair, and then claim he was the only way out of it.

If you think that's love, you can keep it.

Stop being an ignorant twat-face and realize that your religious faith has blinded you to reason, because that is what you need to hear.

Oh. noes!! I've just been fooling myself this whole time... Oh wait a tick.. custom built House- Check, on Land I paid for 20+ years ago -Check, Relationship with my Dad on biblical terms- Check... Am I happy? -Check ++

Maybe it is you who has fooled himself into think that just because you dad beat on you are justified in hating someone forever.

Glad to see you got the material thing to make you happy.  That's why christianity is so easy.  It costs you nothing. No sacrifice.  And when the same good things happen to you as they do everyone else, you can crow that these things justify your silly beliefs.

Paranoia and xenophobia rears it's ugly head...

[Amarok]

Nope my father taught me to be a decent human being he did care what gender his children were . Because he did see people like that . And he didn't test anything because this isn't anime. Nor am I a dog

Oh. noes!! I've just been fooling myself this whole time... Oh wait a tick.. custom built House- Check, on Land I paid for 20+ years ago -Check, Relationship with my Dad on biblical terms- Check... Am I happy? -Check ++

So you define happiness by stuff you own how sad. As for your farther if you mean your actual father well Stockholm syndrome that has that effect. If you mean god well he clear broke you long ago so same answer.

Maybe it is you who has fooled himself into think that just because you dad beat on you are justified in hating someone forever.

Nope my relationship with my father was built on mutual respect. He never had to hit me because he knew the consequences if he ever did. That respect would be lost .And i would have no father. Just scum who gives himself the title . And yes I would hate him forever and it would be on him to restore the respect . Just as my children own children would have every right to hate me forever. And it would be my job to do the same as my farther.

Forgiveness is akin to respect, either of which must be earned rather than merely doled out on lame principle.

Forgiveness has nothing to do the offender, it is solely at the discretion of the person offended, besides there are somethings you just cant conceivably "earn" forgiveness for, like murder for example.

[Amarok]

Yes you can by proving your really apologetic for your crime and are willing to modify your behavior

[Whateverist]

Agreed. Besides the person who most benefits from forgiveness is the person who is able thereby able to move on from it, so mostly the one giving it.

Not necessarily true. It is up to the offended to offer the forgiveness, but if the offender has shown a maintained repentant attitude that is clear to the offended in their words and actions and is satisfying enough to the offended, then it is possible to be forgiven for such things as murder.
