I will never forgive myself for all the terrible things I have done in my life, and anyone i talk to about my past wants nothing more to do with me once i tell them about it, so i think I have the right attitude to self forgiveness.
A former friend, a brainwashed xtian, told me I’m going to hell despite trying to be a good person, giving time and money to charities, etc. But he, despite being a lying, cheating, and stealing business owner was going to heaven because he’s a xtian, and asks for and receives forgiveness. My last comment to him was there is no god, I walked away as he screamed like a fire and brimstone Southern preacher. Good riddance.
So, judging by all the attacks and complaints about religions, Christians, etc., I take it that means it is okay if I promote my religious views and proselytize here, too? Just wondering if it works both ways, or if trolling is okay but being positive is frowned upon.

There is some hope. At least Rat realizes what he’s doing is wrong.

It’s the Christian way to be, and the reason for all of that good Christian “forgiveness.”

Sounds like something the Catholic Mafia would do. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I’ll be back next week.

Sort of a secular version of Romans 5:20 — 6:2.

I have confessed my sins now repeat….hmmm. Remember Jesus said, “Go and sin no more”, of course unless you give $$ to the church, then go ahead.

Does Rat have a brother, so we can call them the Wrong Brothers?

We can purchase rat traps but nothing can be done for human rats.

Apropos of nothing, there used to be a mom and pop Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood with the slogan “Two Wongs make it right.”

The above strip might be an historical comic art first, sort of combining the clouds in the adjacent panels by an artisinal overlapping by stephan.

Rat is aware that he’s a horrible rodent being and is proud of all the horrible things he does.

As long as you don’t repeat a past wrong, then you’ve bettered yourself and ready to do more newer wrongs.

Sounds like a fair number of religious people I’ve met. Do bad things, get “forgiven”, maybe do penance, act like it never happened.

live a life of sin – confess on your death bed and “accept Jesus” and you’re in like Flynn… geesh

I think Carlin would tell you that’s the same as deciding to commit a sin. Don’t bother, you already did it by thinking about doing it.
