Forgiveness ,,,,,,

[Cryptoad]

does not mean that Justice is to be denied nor the duty of atonement is excused. So sick and tire of hearing these Trump evangelicals saying he had said he apologizes so he is good to go!

1. Well that works for them, so why wouldn't they expect it for him too?

Every time they get caught embezzling money, that is their excuse - Satan made me do it, please for give me pass around the collection plates.

5. This is the way they practice their Religion,,,,,,,,

2. Plus, forgiveness is not something you can demand

or even feel entitled to. Apologizing for bad behavior does not initiate a transaction, where the next move is the other person forgiving you, and now everything is hunky-dory. An apology is "offered;" there is no obligation to accept it.

Reminds me of little kids forced by mom to say "I'm sorry" for hitting a playmate, as if that changes anything.

3. Forgiven or not, he is morally unqualified to be President.

4. Yes, he apologized, sort of ...

... but did he cry on TV like a good evangelical, did he check into rehab, did he tear his clothes and rip at his hair?

Not evangelical enough there, Donald.
