Bogus argument. No sane person loves to be tortured. But forgiving is not optional. Loving our enemy is not optional. Jesus told us to forgive, so we have to forgive. If we don’t, we’ve rejected God himself. Not good.

Have you?
I haven't forgiven ISIS.
Have You?
I haven't forgiven the monster that kidnapped, raped, and buried alive a little girl a few years ago. Have you?
There are a lot of evil monsters in this world that commit all sorts of unspeakable acts, and I have no intention of forgiving them.
You and the rest of the oh-so-pious modern American Christians have clung to a weird masochist interpretation of Christianity. I've observed it for years here and in real life.
You people seem to revel in suffering and love those that torment you specifically because they are inflicting pain on you. It's sick. It's like a bizarre version of Stockholm symdrome.
A prime example of this is the Charleston church shooting last year. A guy slaughtered nine people in church, and within HOURS the families and friends were practically shouting from the rooftops WE FORGIVE HIM!
It's not normal. And of course I don't expect anybody in the Free Republic Bible Militia to budge an inch on this or anything else.
Just understand that nearly everybody thinks that all this instant forgiveness is at least dumb, if not fake. I personally think its both.
