Its simply not forgivable... Such notions I see on this thread explain clearly how we lost our culture and country

ALL sins are forgivable if the person repents. And I haven't read any comments on this thread saying that he should be released. Forgiveness isn't the same thing as releasing him back into society.

If you think that the idea of forgiving a repentant sinner is how we "lost our culture and society", then you must not think that this country was built on a Christian foundation, because that is precisely what Christianity requires us to do. Again, forgiving the criminal is not the same thing as releasing him.

Sorry....pollyanna kumbaya Christianity based on good works is indeed indicative of our lapse into lack of strength etc

You mention the Christian foundations of our founders

Good point.

They would have hanged this animal within hours publicly as a warning to any other animal.

Forgive the man who brutally raped and murdered your sister because his repented?

Nuts.

That’s Gods job.
