Backlash heaven, right here & now.
I agree with Gotholic in that statement. In a religious tenet, the purpose of repentance is to recognize & change. To stop sinning. That is not the intention here. The dogma of Christianity is clear, in regards to marriage & fornication. Marriage is written about as early, in the bible, as Genesis.
It is ironic though that there is no backlash when someone is discussing out of wedlock births & sex but there is when someone brings up the religious aspect of it, in context with a thread about lent.
Disregard what Gotholic says, if you chose, but why the animosity? If nothing else, it's just another opinion.
On the other hand, this probably should be in the RW.
Gotholic said:You claimed you repent when you clearly were not doing so.
