@Aldo2 Forgiveness, judgement, and repentance as they pertain to Christianity are nuanced subjects that have been pushed to their lowest values in the mainstream zeitgeist. In my opinion, it has been done in congruence with the ongoing campaign to weaken Christianity. This can be seen even in symbols such as the pentagram and the cross of Saint Peter.

Christians are not meant to be soggy doormats allowing themselves, their loved ones, and their people to be stomped on by people who do not even seek repentance. Jesus taught that we should rebuke those who wrong us, but forgive without limit if they repent. Repentance is a process that includes righting your wrongs and facing consequences.

Me sharing this scripture is not a call to kill people, of course. It is to demonstrate the weight of this hypothetical situation where Trump raped minors. Saying wholesale that you would forgive Trump for raping children *and* continue to support him as the president, assumedly without repentance because he would still be president, is not grounded in Christianity. He should face the full brunt of the law because that is what repentance entails. After the repentance process is complete, then forgiveness can be granted.

Furthermore, you so curiously continue to conflate child rape with pedophilia/hebephilia which you call to be legalized. Pedophilia and hebephilia is legalized, Aldo. You will not be punished in accordance with the law for expressing that you are a pedophile. The official requirements for pedophilia as it exists as a disorder are already steep and hebephilia isn't even officially recognized as a disorder. It seems to me that you are calling for the ability for anybody to be able to rape children and not be punished for it, and you're using Christianity as a scapegoat for it.

Ironically, you argue in bad faith.
