I was sitting in the kitchen, coffee in hand, listening to
the news about Charleston, Kabul, and other hot spots in the world. Of
particular interest is the outpouring of Forgiveness for the murdering little
bastard Roof. Coward too. Apparently ran out of bullets so his attempt to shoot
himself failed. Good. Because I don’t forgive him. And a lot of people won’t
forgive him. But back to forgiveness.
I am amazed that the people closest to the killings are
pouring out forgiveness. And the community. And people all over. I love that
people have this capacity to forgive. I wish they would forgive gay people for
falling in love, or mentally handicapped people for being different, or black
people for being black.
My problem is easy to see isn’t it? Anyone with the deep and
abiding capacity to forgive a murdering little shit should also be on the
vanguard of all the social actions to right the wrongs of society and “forgive”
if needed. Now don’t come back on me with “You don’t have to forgive someone
for something genetic” or whatever. I know that. I am talking about the
philosophy of people blaming innocent carriers of difference and discriminating
on that basis. For example: you are gay? No marriage in My Church. You are
black? No business in the pool. You are Hispanic? No business in this country.
No, people are mostly hypocritical and cherry pick what, who
and why they will confer forgiveness. WWJD? Forgive with unconditional love. Would that
all of you could do the same. I certainly cannot. But at least I know what I
should be doing. Forgive the murdering little shit. Gulp. Nope. Not yet.
