Someone suggested how much better off we would be if there were a rapture. All the people preventing us from having universal healthcare, funding USAID, enacting climate change legislation, taxing religious organizations, and housing everyone would be gone. My fingers were crossed, too. But alas and alack, here we all still remain, the Christians and the decent humans, all on the same planet.

I agree that EK's "forgiveness" was performative. If she really forgave him, she would publicly ask Utah prosecutors not to seek the death penalty.
