That’s not a slippery slope, that’s the logical outcome of setting thresholds to forgivability.

I’m not exactly surprised people would disagree. I’ve been served the very same argument again and again (albeit, instead of mass murders, I usually either get rape or literal nazism). That’s kind of the point of this thread to begin with, I didn’t expect to be met with understanding.

Refusing the other your forgiveness is dehumanizing. I didn’t mean to say that’s it’s quantifiably similar (whatever that would even mean…?), simply that’s it’s a similar effect on one’s soul. It is unquestionable that pyschopathically hurting others (or commit atrocities of any kind and of any magnitude) takes a much greater toll on one’s soul that being denied any shot at redemption. My point was they both take a toll on one’s soul. Not that they carry the same weight. Apologies for poorly expressing my opinions. It’s difficult enough in my own language, let alone in english.

I don’t see anything morally warranted in defiling one’s humanity any further under the pretense they brought it upon themselves. More often than not do we ultimately realise that evil roots in fear, pain and one’s inability to handle these. I do believe the core of the human person deserves to be saved and it starts with presence and forgiveness.
