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!

Yeah, I've heard that kind of mindset about forgiveness from a lot of people. And sometimes it's at least nominally secularized as a For Your Own Good thing where you're told that not forgiving will poison you and doom you to misery.

OMG I HATE THAT VERSION SO MUCH

I mean, "forgive or you're being unchristian" is bad enough, but "forgive or YOU WILL BE MISERABLE FOREVER" is just the most paggro thing ever!
