«Christians are taught to forgive the rapist and the murderer.»
And how many of them follow this teaching? Perhaps 1%.
I thought that cult-people were supposed to be followers...
«Don't people have their own freewill?»
Indeed they do not. People only EXPERIENCE free will and FEEL it to be their own, but in reality only God's will prevails.
«They become so diluted with 'unconditional forgiveness' that they end up inadvertently give all sins a free pass»
No Christian is expected to give all sins a free pass. While forgiving others is an important tenet, one should never let their own sins pass.
«By the same token it's as though they also expect 'unconditional forgiveness'»
And harbouring such unrealistic expectations is a foolish human weakness, not anything they have been taught.
«No matter what they do wrong, they just pray and let God do the worrying.»
But where does it say that Christians must worry?
If you sin then you will have to carry the consequences - worrying is not ordained and will not help you one iota.
And BTW, no matter how much you pray or what else you do, God will not become worried...
