The F - Bomb

The F-Bomb

There are few words that mean less to a Christian than the 'F-Bomb'.  They fling it about haphazardly and with abandon.  People who are targeted with it don't feel offended and yet they know it's meaningless.  And, quite often, the 'Bomb' is dropped either silently or just under the targets hearing range.  Either way, they walk away feeling superior and the recipient is none the wiser.

What's the 'F-Bomb" you ask?  Why it's "I forgive you" or a variant thereof.  There is a post on YouTube from Moxnews about Cardinal Roger Mahoney called "If YOU Touch Your Wee Wee It's A Mortal Sin But If A Priest Touches Your Wee Wee It's A Mistake".  (Go to Moxnews.com). 

Cardinal Mahoney has been humiliated by angry people of late for being accused of covering up for pedaphile priest during his long, long career in the Catholic Church.  

And the Cardinal's response is, wait for it, "I forgive you."  HUH?!?!?

He has the balls to say "I forgive you." to people who've been criminally abused!  Imagine that!  Why would the victim of a heinous crime have the need of forgiveness?

Which brings me to the subject of this post.  Christians are very generous with their forgiveness.  They will forgive you for walking in front of you and your response is "Hey, watch where you're going!"  They will forgive you for pointing out that they've just run a red light and your car's horn suddenly springs to life. They will forgive you for challenging their ridiculous belief system and sleep soundly knowing they've done 'the Christian thing'.

Ever come across a selfish, hogheaded Christian who thinks they own the world because their religion is the only way to live? 

Maybe they should be seeking forgiveness for themselves instead. Let's get Cardinal Roger Mahoney to the front of the line.
