In my experience the second the word repent comes up, the speaker in question is skirting the fact that they won't actually be satisfied until they get their own reign of terror in retaliation.
A serial killer murders your entire family, but you escape. He murders another family, and another. You want to stop him but are mostly powerless to do anything. Then, one day, he says hes going to stop, and does for awhile.
You: Looks legit to me, I'll now completely ignore you because clearly you've repented!
Why the fuck would I do that?
Dood, if you knew the details of my family, you'd want them dead too.
Hell, there's a good chance you probably do.
If I'd played ball twenty years ago, I have the familial connections in the Democratic Party to probably be a representative today. Instead I have a MAGA cap and I'm not welcome at Grandma's christmas party.
C'est la vie.
No, I don't want a reign of terror. I just want them to pray to God and learn from their mistakes. I can't save them, only He can. They have been led astray. They can repent to lead them on the right path.
I just have to stay away from those that are enforcing the mandates. They don't have my best interests at heart. Through all of this insanity, I have learned who I can trust. I am thankful for that.
Mmmmmm you don't want to go theological on this one.
Y'see I'm Quaker, that alien bastard child of christianity that somehow manages to be more Marxist than Marx. We've got this thing about putting community ahead of self and taking on personal obligation to serve others.
From a theological perspective, I was being "a bad christian" by being a holdout on vaccination.
I don't judge other people for choosing to not get vaccinated.
But I will criticize the everloving fuck out of christians who think that god is on their side on this one. The SJWs are the well meaning ones here, crazy and power hungry though they may be, their motivation comes from a better place, to save as many as they can. Perhaps unreasonably, perhaps shortsightedly, but make no mistake, in the final analysis we're the selfish ones.
You were being "a bad christian" by not taking an experimental injection that is not sterilizing and has the potential to cause myocarditis (something that could kill you)? An injection that has now basically been proven not to work for its intended FDA purpose "the prevention of COVID-19."
That is not being "a bad christian." Being skeptical of experimental drug technologies is not immoral. It is proper to be skeptical of any new medication. That is the reason why companies traditionally run long-term trials.
By the community-before-self reasoning of the Religious Society of Friends...
Yes.
