Please, can we leave the prosetylization to the Religion threads? The poster did mention Jesus or God.

"Please, can we leave the prosetylization to the Religion threads? The poster did mention Jesus or God."

People are posting about Jesus and forgiveness because this is the most tremendous consolation we can offer a person who has hurt herself in heart and soul by her own wrongdoing.

What do you expect Christian FReepers to say? ("Hi, girlfriend, nice story there. And as for your blood-guilt--- hey, no big deal")?

If a Jewish person wanted to get on this thread and talk about moral repentance in the light of Yom Kippur, or a Hindu wanted to chime in about ahimsa (the moral law of doing no harm to a sentient being) or a secular person wanted to offer insights on ethical behavior, I doubt that any of the Christians would be offended.

As it stands, these Christian testimonies are a direct and compassionate response to pain. I can't see how a reasonable person would resent that.
