[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic raised turned Agnostic here:

the idea of God's forgiveness is that if you are truly sorry for your sins and ask God's forgiveness, he will grant it. Yes it is quite convenient but it only works if you are truly sorry. That is the big question. Is Sam sorry that he did it or sorry that he was caught. Only Sam (and God) know. [/quote]

I guess that means you can get off the hook for virtually anything.[/quote]

Yes, as long as you're really, really sorry and God can tell. - and if you believe in God, of course.   In fact, people who do bad things are better off believing in god, because then they can be forgiven by God and God's forgiveness is considered the best forgiveness you can get -- it allows you an eternity in heaven.

Being forgiven by people here on earth is only good for as long as they live  - if that.  Humans sometimes get tired of forgiving people for the same sin over and over again (especially infidelity), but God never does.  God will forgive you every time -- as long as you're sincere.[/quote]
