In reference to Ace of Spades blog post.
Kimmel really shouldn't be speaking to Christians, should he? Is HE a Christian? What does he really know about Christianity?
But first, the question must be asked. Or should it? Perhaps you can leave that to the people who truly believe in Christian doctrine.
Here's a possibility: Kimmel, being sympathetic to the left, isn't really speaking to Christians. No, his audience would be those who already have a problem with Christianity, and are preparing the battleground of the clash of ideas---to discredit those who do not believe Christianity really means that you must always forgive.
Forgiveness has a price, I would think. Maybe not in heaven, but on Earth. If you won't admit wrongdoing, nor will you change your ways, then why SHOULD you be forgiven?
It's not a religious argument, by the way. It is, or could be, but in this case, I'm referring to my own opinion. Anyone could disagree or agree with me. So redirect the question to Kimmel, and the question is this: Why should you expect forgiveness? Are YOU a Christian, and what is your reason for believing that Christianity requires unconditional forgiveness? Unconditional forgiveness is NOT my interpretation...
