America is packed to the gills with ideologues who for the life of them could never agree in principle to the following:

..forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil...
I just understood that in a whole new way, which is that the third and fourth phrases are continuations of the second and first. Which is to say that on the whole, vindictiveness is an evil temptation. You need to forgive those who break your heart. The forgiveness one might receive is dependent on the forgiveness given, and yet we are sorely tempted not to forgive but to blame and to punish. This is the evil from which we must be delivered. It is our forgiveness that allows us to be forgiven. - - Cobb

Your Say

To forgive what is unrepentant is to be vainglorious, and but begs contempt, which is deserved. You have only one cheek to turn.

Don't accept the insult. Let the insulter digest the insult.

Kill the murderer before s/he murders again. Leave the forgiveness to the will of the murder victim.
