How Could I Ever Be Forgiven?

[Paulos23]

Vehicular manslaughter is a kind of misdemeanor. It requires criminal negligence or violation of traffic safety laws. Typically an independent infraction or negligence is usually required.

Generally if you kill someone while not paying attention to the road (like putting on lipstick) that is negligence and can land you in jail.

Well then it's a good thing the fellow, Gary, did not press charges and was forgiving, right?

But I see what you're saying:
Putting on lipstick is conduct by an individual which is not reasonable — that is, the individual did not act with the care and caution of a reasonable person in similar circumstances.

Pwnerererer,

You end up pwning yourself more than you do anyone else. I just wanted to point that out to you.

This story is dumb, give it up already.

Yeah, and most of the humiliation you suffer is selfinflikted.

No, I just think it's ironic that someone comes in here with such a cocky sn such as "pwnerer", then fails to "own" anyone. I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Dude, I would so pwn you. It's preordained. You couldn't touch me because I'd be invincible, but since you're an atheist you can't enter god mode.

Due, as was stated before, the police would have shown up. If the did that, they would investigate, and find out the girl took her eyes off the road (assuming she didn't lie). At that point they would have booked her.

The story just doesn't have that much in the way of reality. Nor would it convince a rational person to convert. It is just to sappy.

Yeah, this thread is silly. I'm mostly here for my own entertainment, and because I enjoy seeing Pwnerer snap at people.

According to this, there are pics of the woman who hit her. Turns out that she has a book deal, http://www.amazon.com/Completely-Hi...9627924?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191362771&sr=8-1, so she isn't forgiven for killing a woman because of reckless driving, but making money off the story.

In a new book, Shannon tells the story of Gary Jarstfer’s incredible forgiveness and care offered her when she was distraught. See more at http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/books/Completely-His.aspx and http://search.barnesandnoble.com/bo...nly=EXC&EAN=9781400071104&z=y&bnit=H2PID=1523. This is a powerful story, and the countless readers that have been touched by Shannon’s books owe much to the grace of Jesus shown her through Gary Jarstfer.

It's not hard to come up with stories like this. They are more "inspired by a true story" than "true story" however. First you come up with the ending, the moral of the story if you will, that caters to your audience. Then you take some facts and some creative license, and organize them in such a way that they move from point A to point B...even if the events didn't happen in that order. It's a trick that all writers and story tellers learn to do.

Wow. You get major props for the apropos linkage.

I just saw this story for the first time and had no idea she wrote a book. Maybe they mentioned it in my link but I didn't notice it.

It sounds like she was feeling really guilty. She almost killed herself out of guilt. If she is making money from this book I hope she uses it for a good purpose.

I googled the name of the woman she hit.
It comes up in a number of Christian sites, most of them promoting her book.

To be honest, the story does have a LOT of qustionable details. Why did it take the paramedics 45 minutes to get there? If the girl said, "I just struck a woman on a bike with my car! She's not moving!", I doubt they would take their time. They also wouldn't show up and say, 'We need to call a funeral home." They just bring them to the morgue. He doesn't press charges, but she walked? Completely free? If I hit a homeless man with no family, I am still held responsible - even if I am a minor.

But more than that, I don't even know what I am supposed to take away from this. Someone kills a man's wife, and he doesn't press charges, stating that, "It was her time. It's not your fault. Don't beat yourself up over this", etc.

It wasn't her time any more than it is "someone's time" when someone kills you. God doesn't take you. You are taken out of the world.

And we are supposed to be inspired by a man that forgave a careless teenager putting on lipstick for killing his wife? We are to see that as an act of forgiveness to aspire to? If someone stabs my partner, do I forgive him, and ask him to be set free, to show him forgiveness, and inspire him (and potentially release a killer into society?) Is it not forgiving to hold people accountable?

I'm just not clear of the point.

Pwnerer, as much as I love video games and respect your stance, philosophy has no need of absoluteism (yes, I made up a word) such as yours.
