Why do atheists find Faith untenable?
One reason they refuse it house space
is the logic of Christian Forgiveness
where the hatred of sin in the Christian
weakens the redemptive love of the sinner
by their maker. Christians live
as if they controlled the world
when they can't control themselves.
Hatred is a heavy burden to carry.
Accepting the symptom whilst rejecting its cause
divides a person from what they do,
which leaves Christians going round in circles
as they vacillate between denial and acceptance
via hatred. This makes the love of the sinner
(or the love of anyone for that matter)
seem like an unwholesome insurance policy
which when called on for support
will not pay out for the detail in the small print.
We will only find an enduring forgiveness
when we discover the grace in our mistakes.
