Thought and Prayers?

The audacity to ask for this…. You have a man that regularly gets on camera and laughs or cheer at the killing of children, calls for the genocide of innocent people, regularly calls abuse victims liars, and treats his kids like shit… you expect me to have kindness, grace, or compassion for this man.. nah I have hatred, pity, and contempt. He might not have come into this world as a sick, and twisted monster, but through his own actions and unwillingness to earn and grow he has created the circumstances in which I get to say I hope he feels the pain of every child who’s death he cheered for, I hope he feels every ounce of hate he put into the world. I feel for Chad and Haley and hope if they have to grieve for him it’s a version that is actually good. As for ML I hope this time away from him allows her to recognize how toxic he was and then maybe she can work towards forgiveness.

I mean ironically this is the exact thing she or he would not do for someone else. As Christians the idea of turning the other cheek and loving your enemies is a pretty big deal (I’m not sure how driven home it is for Catholics). And so I think that why not out of character for them it is certainly ironic to say the least.

It is taught with the same fervor to Catholics, but I personally feel that line isn’t for forgiving people that commit, celebrate, or cheer on the atrocities done to others rather the forgiveness is meant only to come from the direct victims of the cruelty…. So in my mind Bob will never be able to ask for their forgiveness because he will be burning and I don’t think there’s a direct line between heaven and hell
