I already said in my post that making me feel guilty while evil wins is incredibly repulsive, so I don't have a lot of patience for just repeating that line of thinking back at me.
I was raised Catholic and tried to engage with it honestly multiple times in my life, especially recently as something in opposition to the left, but it just keeps losing me with all this cuckery. Kirk was a faithful servant and it got him killed. Trump is not and he's still alive and winning. I'm just calling it like I see it.
but it's not about guilt. it's not about lying down in the fetal position, sucking your thumb and going "waaaa, eve ate the apple and i didn't return the shopping cart." it's about humility and modesty, and realizing that at your very best you're still a human with flaws and sinful animal instincts, some that you've probably acted upon like snapping at a loved one when irritated or defaming your allies here by calling them queers.
note that in the previous paragraph, other people who are undoubtedly evil don't even factor in. you being modest and honest with God about your failings, which exist in significant number even if you aren't a murderer or rapist, doesn't directly interface with how you should act with extreme external evil. there's 24 hours in the day - the perfect Christian doesn't pray 12 hours for himself and 12 hours for his enemies, but prays for both for an hour then spends the rest sending his enemies (who better be God's enemies as well...) to their maker for a hearing.
approaching things from this angle we arrive not to a guilt-ridden wreck who forgives his enemies then is afraid he's going to hell because he glanced at a woman's breasts on the street once, but to a man who, aware of all humanity's sinful instincts, can suss out who will overcome their sin and who won't. it's not your right to take a life, but enough consultation with God, if you and Him trust each other enough, can get a temporary permit from up above.
Sometimes dialogue is mean.

Or alternatively you're just a dickhead
