. . . but mine doesn't quite swing that way. I'm agnostic to the core, and I actually believe I have found God -- but the spirit of this God can never be known, for He resides forever in out future. One day, our search may perhaps find this God -- and we would then realize we are Him.

This in mind, there can be no sins, only atrocities, and as there is no heavenly, eternal justice -- justice becomes ours. And if calling for this justice injures or kills the innocent, we are repentant -- but we shall continue.

Forgiveness of the "sins" of others is all well and good, but do not mistakenly grant it to the non-repentant supporters and butchers of Sept 11, and do not mistakenly grant clemency for people who continue in their insane practice of terrorism.
