"Offering forgiveness to an unrepentant murderer is a fool's move."
And the Cross of Christ is foolishness. We are supposed to forgive unconditionally.
During the Spanish Civil War, many priests shot by firing squad were found with bullet holes in their right hands as well as their bodies. They were blessing the men who killed them.
I don't know Mr. Berg's faith, but I do know forgiveness is a virtue we can practice.

I guess a lot of it depends on the definition of 'forgiveness'.
Christ offered it to all men, but not all men accept it. In the Last Judgment, these men will not avoid the punishment they have earned. And Christ, Himself, will be the one who pronounces the sentence upon them.
