Without the Possibility of Forgiveness

     If a man hijaks and airplane and flies it into the Pentagon, killing everyone on the plane and many military and civilian personnel on the ground, then i dont think forgiveness would be a possibility. In 2001, on September 11th, an Islamic terrorist did the exact same thing. He chose to take not only his life, but thousands of others who had families to go home to, and to attend to. They didn't have a choice in the matter. Children, mothers, fathers, grandparents, and many more were all on that plane and in the Pentagon, but the man didn't care. He had to know that he would kill all of them and many more but he did it anyways. No man deserving forgiveness would intentionally massacre innocent people.

  1. Did you think about the fact that the terrorists from 9/11 were ordered to crash the planes and kill thousands. Do you think that since the pilots were ordered to committ this act, and it was not their own decision, they might deserve forgiveness? Or do you think that since the pilots took lives, no matter the circumstance, they do not deserve forgiveness?

  2. I did think about that. But he couldve said no and went against their orders instead of taking lives. I know that he might have been killed for saying no but at least he would have a chance to be judged positively instead of being hated by all of America.

  3. "He had to know that he would kill al of them and many more..." I agree with this because he knew that what he was doing was going to kill many people. If he had a heart he wouldn't have done it. "No man deserving forgiveness would intentionally massacre innocent people" This is true as well. If he had the intentions then he doesn't deserve the forgiveness.
