There is obviously more to it then "just being sorry". You make it sound like it was the playground when the big kid after hitting the little kid get forced by the teacher to go to the little kid and say a forced sorry out, then be let off.

Of course simply saying sorry and not meaning it isn't enough, they have to mean it. But do you deny that belief in god and being truly sorry for your sins is enough to get into heaven?
And my question still stands. If a murderer was really, truely, 100% sorry and they truthfully said that they would never do it again in their life would you let them out of gaol?

Wow, another meaningless religion-bashing thread... how surprising.
Life is full of surprises and you never know what you're going to get until you get it; always expect the unexpected.

No, because we, as humans, have no way of telling if it is true. God can see the murderer and whether the murderer tells the truth, and as such He can make that judgement. We, as humans, must err on the side of caution and keep him [the murderer] in prison for his sentence.Originally Posted by miotas
