They don't go to church. They often don't believe the Bible much. They are not spiritual. But? Since preachers preached forgiveness, they believe in - and probably expect to go to - heaven.

These are the many mindless super patriotic "America First" Trump thugs.

Unfortunately preachers, by offering forgiveness continually, gave them a get-out-of-jail card for being horrible murderous human beings.

Forgiveness often encourages sins. Telling people in effect, "Go, and sin some more."

Better to start taking them to jail. And giving them.far less forgiveness.
