The Amish forgive
Published on October 11, 2006 By Rightwinger In Current Events
I understand that the families of the murdered Amish girls are making provisions for a fund to be set up for the family of their daughters' murderer. They've forgiven him, I understand, and wish to help his family to get past this, and to assist in their care and wellbeing, since the husband/father is now dead.
You know, you really can't get all that much more radical, as far as Christianity goes, than the Amish.

Someone really should point this out to Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, they've not only forgiven the man who so horribly wronged them, but want to help his family, as well. How dangerous can you get?

Cacto:

It's true that the Amish hold to the same, basic tenets that all other Christians do, yes. But refusing all conveniences of the modern world (though they do have their loopholes in this), and choosing to have as little contact as possible with the outside world (loopholes), all in the name of their faith, IS fairly radical. Don't you think?

Geez.
