[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]

1. Did you commit a premeditated sin? 
2. Did you commit accidental sin?
3. What do you mean by sorry? Are you sorry for yourself or for what you did? Or for the one  you hurt?
4. Whom do you ask for forgiveness, God or the one you hurt?
5. Did you make up to the ones you hurt?
6. Will god forgive you until you make up to the ones you hurt?

People might be forgiven but there is no guarantee they "won't do the time" as God may just sentence them as by human standards
if you do a crime, you do the time and then you get out as you are forgiven but you had to be punished, and of course you pay back
all that you stole and such. Right?

After all if one believes that humans are created in the image of God..?...
