This really makes me uncomfortable. I believe in a loving and forgiving God. But what I DO NOT believe is that this just gives you a blanket free pass. Murder someone? "Oh, I'M FORGIVEN!" Cheat somebody and steal from them? "Oh, I'M FORGIVEN!!" Screw somebody over? "Oh, I'M FORGIVEN!!!" Do whatever-the-fuck you want to hurt or violate or otherwise fuck over your fellow man but it's all okay because you're already forgiven. THAT is what it's turned into.

NO, george w. dry-drunk. YOU ARE NOT forgiven. No josh Bugger (OOPS I mean Duggar), YOU are NOT forgiven. NO YOU DO NOT get some Heavenly free pass.

If we're all forgiven, then why is there presumably a Hell? Where is the punishment and accountability for crimes committed against one's fellow man? Oh, I guess that's really just not needed. Because yer already fergivven!
