[quote=Margaret Pilkington;409884]Well, Accymel...i don't quite know what the other Margaret will say...but personally, I think it does. I know someone who is very close to me...her Ex was a complete and utter b'stard...he intimidated her, followed her around, harassed her, told lies about her to people who knew nothing better than to believe him...he cheated on her, told her she was ugly and worth less and that he had wasted his life on her.....she went from a strong woman to a nervous wreck in six months.

Been there - done that - got the Tshirt

Well we cant rely on the justice system for evil pigs

even then no remorse for actions they've done onto, so maybe there is karma up there

Yep , have to agree, doesn't seem to be much Christian charity or forgiveness about

You can't really forgive someone who does not realise their actions are detrimental to another person....and makes money out of the suffering of others. Don't you think that is just a bit despicable? (if we are talking about the guy the thread was originally about).

I am not a christian (or any religion for that matter)
Some actions I deem unforgivable
I never 'turn the other cheek' - that seems like masocism!
BUT I never take revenge.

Surely this is EXACTLY the type of person you could forgive as they are clearly acting from a point of ignorance. If you are saying you cant forgive someone who doesnt care that their actions are detrimental to someone else then we could talk about that.

My personal take on the situation is quite a simple one- a human being (all be it a seemingly pretty horrible one) died in a horrific manner- cant dismiss that as 'rebound' because surely that makes us no better than the person we are condeming.
Just a thought.

Sorry Flashy.....I didn't make myself clear at all. This man did know of the misery he caused to the people who worked for him and didn't get paid.....he lorded it up with his lavish lifestyle and said he didn't care about his workers who were sacked by text message.....plus all the misery his work force caused with his company. While I am not happy that he died the way he did (for any death has consequences for the folk who loved him despite his arrogance -perceived).....I do think it is a case of what goes round comes round. Hope that explains it better.

Surely someone has to show contrition and sorrow for what they have done for them to be truly forgiven...or am i wrong?

Margaret Pilkington · 12-04-2007, 19:37

Well according to Jesus he says we should forgive everyone regardless and leave the judging up to God. Actually forgiving is very therapeutic.

No, Willow forgiving is sanctimonious ..

Flash · 12-04-2007, 21:31

Interesting point you make- is God vengeful then? And why do only certain wrongdoers meet a sticky end? Have others done some sort of deal to avoid retribution?
