    Yeah, but have you given a pedo their 127th chance by moving them to a new church?

    Forgiveness is the real Christian value.

    Forgiving Christians anyway.

    No, not those Christians.

      Yes and no, forgiveness is what they want other people to do. I mess with you and you should forgive me.

        Christians forgive themselves and want to be forgiven for being absolute assholes.

          Christians forgive themselves

          This is the shittiest part. People will literally pray it away by thinking about it until they don’t feel terrible about themselves anymore and even ask a priest, a third party, for penitence to justify themselves. Like, your threats of eternal damnation sound ridiculous when you have an escape hatch for anything if you follow these steps to clean your conscience.
