there was some question sheet or something they gave to use in school and one of the questions was "what do you think it would be like if everyone in america(lol they said america not USA) was forced to practice the same religion?"
i looked at what a random kid said this is what he wrote
"i tink all of people in america should all do same religion christiananity because god is good and all other people are dum" |

Now, if we all followed Christ's answer to "what are the most important commandments?" then, yes, I do believe we'd be better off, but otherwise, no.
P.S. His answer was "Love God with all your heart/soul/strength/etc." and "Love your neighbor as yourself", in case you didn't know.

Basically, if we all forgave each other no matter what (and I mean, NO MATTER WHAT.), life would be waaaay better for all of us. (And we'd save quite a bit on prisons, too)

@lumpy your idea leads to communism and it has been proved that if everybody is equal nothing would work. |

communism -> no "state" just people people own everything communism is based on the idea that everybody is nice which isnt the case, because the human brain is centered on egoism srsly, your idea is extremly stupid, and believe me, if somebody killed people you loved you would not forgive him either. |

Oh yeah, uh, you wouldn't know that, would you?
I mean, this guy just killed someone(without it being self defense, of course), no one (but me) is ever going to care about how he feels again.
Isn't it sad? I don't know who you are, where you're at, but I do know that there's a 99% chance SOMEBODY out there cares how you feel.

ahem, quote incoming
"Communism is a social, political and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of a classless, moneyless, stateless and revolutionary socialist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production."
guess why china and north korea have a government because the idea didnt work out same goes for the ussr, which had to realize that their state was going downhill
guess why capitalism works, because it consumes it's energy from the egoism of the human |

Guess what?
This hypothetical United States of Forgiveness forgives egotism, the less love you receive, the less you can ever put out.

it's quite simple. you do something that's illegal, you get a punishment. The way somebody feels about something, the mental damage somebody gets, is really a minority. A life is worth more than you believe, and you probably have never really been sad about a person's death. It's this small exception our brain has, and THIS mental damage can be punished, because in the end it's the fault of the person who killed a family member of yours, not the fault of your family for not liking the killer. |

Hence, "hypothetical".
Ah well, a man can dream, right?
Oh, and by the way, Forgiveness *IS* for sale, you give guy a billion bucks, and he'll forgive you no matter what.

@Lumpy
Nonononono. It's not how the brain works. The brain works like this: Everything is based around the thought of survive and what makes you feel good / better. There are always two ways of getting this satisfaction: Either you take everything and get satisfaction for having a lot or you give a lot and get satisfaction for giving, because our brain has a function that rewards us in certain situations with a good feeling. Our whole life is led by it, and if somebody feels the satisfaction to kill somebody and takes the first way, why not try to stop him from it and make him go the second way? |

| Also, a murder is not always a murder because he has a sick mind. It's often a problem of psychology, which can't be fixed without the murderer being stopped. |

Bloody friggen heck, you just don't get it, do you?
cnsgen, you are clearly rather thickheaded, and you clearly believe that forgiveness is for the weak, and I can't do anything about that.
HOWEVER, I can tell you I'd still forgive the guy, even if it literally killed me.

Have you ever been in such a situation? How the heck can you tell? There are no weak and no strong, there are no contrasts in reality. The only thing that matters for this discussion is the human brain, and the human brain is egoistic. But let's explain reality a little more to you. The way you act is the result of a long calculation, you get influenced by everything and everybody, starting at your DNA which already kind of a huge beginning. Now, after your birth, your brain has to learn, it has to be influenced: Some of it you do your self, for example finding out what hurts and what doesnt. Other things, especially your way of thinking gets influenced by the things happening around you. Or do you have any explanation for why my dear ancistors here in germany all fought for hitler? Because they grew up with nationalism, from 1924 on. Now that you read this you might realize that a murder who kills somebody won't stop; He has been influenced all his life and at some point he gets to the point where it comes to this situation. He would kill again; because if there are no consequenses for him, it satisfies him (bonus by brain: "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! Gratulations! You finally got your payback" etc.). This has to be changed by showing him that the way he evolved was not correct, which is difficult.
TL;DR: Action -> Reaction |
