911 Tribute
- Thread starter CMike
- Start date
There are so many unclear and scientifically unexplainable things about the 9 11, that the best tribute would be the political decision to reopen investigations.
and still we see people calling other people names...such as paranoids, conspirationists...etc
honestly...I cannot explain how concrete pulverizes in the air, before reaching the soil, during a collapse.

But would you be satisfied with what such an investigation, 13 years after the fact, would turn out? Aren't you already locked into a certain mindset that makes reasonable explanations impossible? Do you have the scientific background to understand what the experts conclusions are?
In regards to the OP. America, never forget. Forgive, but never forget.

No surprise that your opinion is as uninformed as it is silly.
You cannot forgive the unforgivable.
what they did will never be forgiven. It deals with actions that will remain carved in history for eternity. and that no God can ever erase

As a fellow Christian (I think), I'm not sure if it is unforgivable. Forgiveness is for us - the victim - and not for the offender. We forgive so that we can live in victory and peace even though we have been severely and unspeakably wronged. It's not to excuse the offender's crimes, but to cleanse ourselves from the evil that has touched us.
Now there's another side to the coin. America's blind, seething rage from 9-11 has caused the deaths of more than a million people. We lost 3,000 and slaughtered a million people, most of them civilian. If we fear God's judgement for the 9-11 criminals, how much more so will God judge us for so much destruction. And what really bothers me about this is that God brings perfect justice in the afterlife to those who did not face judgement in this life. That is, some crimes are so terrible and some people so untouchable that no justice can be meted out in this life.

Forgive? Why?

Lest people become consumed by their rage and hatred, effectively making them just like their attackers? Just a thought.
Informative!
ah, precisely. I misunderstood your sentence, but I meant another thing by forgiving.
That is, it's obvious that it is absolutely necessary to move on and to think of the future. But my or your forgiveness is useless...because for those people there is no hope. They are lost souls.
We don't hate them, of course. It's them who hate.
Oh, please. I'm ready to forget about it. Tired of hearing about it every year. It's in the past.

Ah. Quite. How silly of me.
I find that "never forget" slogan to be quite meaningless. We haven't forgotten and it's gotten us nowhere, anyway. Just like remembering the Holocaust hasn't stopped other genocides from happening.

Sorry to trouble you with all the nuisance. Seriously, what was I thinking?

You can not be consumed by rage and still not forgive.
There actions can not be forgiven.
By forgiving to me that mean it's okay now. It's not.
