[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Religious judgement?  Where?  Please show me.

A poster came on and said she forgave easily.  But I didn't see her telling others they had to, too.[/quote]

In response to someone saying a man molesting his sister is unforgivable: 
[quote]everything is forgivable, especially if it was something that happened when the offender was a child himself.
[/quote]

In response to someone not everyone is able to forgive everything:
[quote]well, it is a fact that everything is forgivable. but sure, to each their own. personally I think it much easier to heal if you do find it in your heart to forgive.
[/quote]

Responding to the question of if she'd be able to forgive someone who raped him/her:
[quote]hey, Jesus forgave those who nailed him to a piece of wood! so it is possible, but of course difficult. I tend to forgive too easily, so yes, I would if asked and if I thought it was sincere.
[/quote]

Religion was brought up as an explanation of why everyone in the thread- who may not be Christians or religious at all- should forgive their rapist fathers, their pedophile uncles, and their abusive parents. If you read all that and don't understand why it's judgement, refer to 20:37's post that explains how it is hurtful. If you still don't get it, let's just move on.[/quote]

Ditto[/quote]

no, Jesus was used as an EXAMPLE, not an EXPLANATION[/quote]

Ditto.  The discussion on forgiveness is useful, even if forgiveness doesn't work for everybody.  Just because someone mentioned Jesus, as an EXAMPLE, doesn't mean that somebody needs to slam that poster's beliefs, or for that matter an entire religion, by casting doubt on its validity.  That was just cruel.[/quote]
