Some people are really that religious.
That is self-serving, CNN sensationalism to the Nth degree. The graphic account of the witness is completely disrespectful to the families and friends of all who lost a loved one there. Callous journalistic slop…
well, she’s a far stronger christian than i’ll ever be.
Wow - I’ll keep my thoughts to myself on this one.
It’s terrible what happened but I’m not sure where you get that this was a Christian family. Synchronicity is a crystal energy type cult.
The lady’s comments remind me of that guy that would go to Alaska every year into the wilderness to commune with the grizzlies right up until one ate him and the woman he had talked into going with him that year.
I laughed my balls off at that guy, particularly the part where he tells the bear “I love you!” right before the screaming-in-agony part started.
There are certain situations, the severity of which makes forgiveness a dishonorable position, IMO.
That’s all I have to say.
Forgive? Yes.
Punish? HELL YES!
I just think we should forgive EVERYONE in advance of their bad acts. That way criminals and terrorists can kill with an open mind.
Here’s the problem with her quote - the attackers never repented and didn’t show they knew they had done wrong.
You are within your rights to forgive someone who doesn’t ask for it and does not repent, but there is no requirement in God’s nor man’s law to do so.
M_P
if that gets her through than more power to her ,but I:mad: would want to kill them all
Forgive these rancid murdering islamic savages? No. This woman is a complete and total imbecile. Simple solution, locate every family member of these muslim terrorist bastards, kill them them all. Confiscate all their property/assets, if any, and distribute it to the victims families. One terrorist still alive? Get all his friends and family and kill them in front of him, then kill him too. Enough of this BS victim mentality of what did we do to deserve this nonsense. These people want to kill you and yours. There is nothing to discuss, give, or negociate with such scum.
God’s Peace upon her and all involved. Regardless of what faith, sect, or tradition she practices, her act of forgiveness and courage in going forward is one of the finest examples of what Christ would have us do.
That we don’t understand, or necessarily agree, is understandable. We’re human.
I’m not sure I’d characterize victims and families as the thread is entitled.
Further, I think this thread could’ve been titled something a little different and more descriptive. It tells us nothing about the thread topic, nor does it elevate the level of discourse. Seems like such a thing was once against the rules, even obscured.
You’ve got it exactly right!
Exactly right!
Me Too!
As a Christian, I’m biting my tongue hard on this one.
Really hard.
Don’t know how long I can hold out.
It just may be worth getting banned for?
Wow, someone needs to learn about reading scripture in it’s context…jeeez.
“As Jesus Christ said long ago, they know not what they do.”
Personally forgive the terrorists? Sure.
But, in my personal view, the Bible isn’t a document for how nations should behave.
We have an obligation to oppose evil.
+1, most intelligent post on this thread!
Well said. We’re all adults here (until proven otherwise in a court of law), but the Something Awful forums are rife with threads labeled F***tard and similar for flamewar purposes.
This is NOT the Something Awful forum, nor need it be treated as such.
