Harry,
You have stated many times you celebrate the holiday of Christmas,
even
though you are not a Christian. I am sure I can Google it up very
easily.


I don't give a crap what you google up.
I'm not a Christian. I do not pray to or through Jesus, nor do I
have even
the slightest belief that Jesus was who Christians claim. I
certainly
don't "celebrate the holiday" of Christmas in any sort of
"Christian" way.

Yes, I admire Christmas decorations, and I like a lot of the
classical
Christmas music. I even sometimes go to a church for reasons you do
not
know.

To be absolved of your sins you must in your heart truly repent.
Otherwise,
it is just you trying to buy your way into heaven.



I understand the Christian concept of absolution, but I've not been able
to figure out how Christians absolve themselves for sins against their
fellow man.

Kind of like the union thugs beating up independent workers when the union
is on strike.
