More Robert Yeung: Christianity and Forgiveness

[lb_lee]

I know I just posted about Yeung, but I just found his Christianity and Forgiveness posts (here's the second) and now I'm linking it to my intro zine because it's that important and relevant: the idea of predators who twist and abuse forgiveness to perpetrate more violence. Although he discusses it in a DID frame of reference, I can think of singlet readers on this blog who would find them equally useful for their own situations!

I wish I had found Yeung's posts about that ages ago! I am going to be linking the shit out of this because it comes up so often!

Boy howdy this sure does make me feel some kind of way about my dad's family and my mom's insistence on me still talking to them and going to their get-togethers. (She's very much coming at it from a 'forgiveness is always the goal' that comes with being Very Christian.) -Artemis

Rogan: Trying to explain the unconditional forgiveness mindset (where "forgiveness" means never discussing the matter or doing anything to prevent it again) to people from outside that culture is a TRIP, I tell you.
