[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is where religion is a joke as anyone can do horrible things to anyone else and its ok as long as they claim religion and confess.  I'd rather rather be a good person and atheist than someone who believes in an unproved God doing horrible things.[/quote]

I think you misunderstand confession. It’s not supposed to be “My bad!”. I was raised to believe that the forgiveness of sins only came with actual repentance. If you just say I’m sorry, but continue the behavior, the relationship with God is not repaired.

This is my understanding as well.

I believe that if you sin, and you are truly sorry for what you did and ask for forgiveness, then God will show you mercy.  Do you think no one should ever be forgiven, OP?  [/quote]

I don't know all ins and outs of the Catholicism but isn't it that Jesus actually gave the power of forgiveness to the hands of one another?
It totally makes sense, at least to me. If someone trespasses against another person, it only makes sense that until the trespassers make it
up to the trespassee only then they can ask for forgiveness of them and God because God in a way only would supervise the process that is between two humans. It kind of sucks and sounds like a legal loop when people think  you can hurt another and then ask God for forgiveness while you don't make up to the one you hurt. Right? It only makes  sense.
