Yeah I did a thread a while back on Israeli Sesame Street's surprisingly dark joke about Moishe Oofnik and Yom Kippur -- the resident Grouch goes around *refusing* to ask or offer forgiveness to everyone he knows But it's kind of deeper than it seems https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1357725076150362114?s=20 … https://twitter.com/erinbiba/status/1362218638615453699 …

David Brooks, who as far as I know does not generally support universal debt jubilee, prison abolition, squatters' rights, etc. and whom I'm pretty sure does keep track of various petty journo grudges, going off on how Christianity teaches that morality is an "inverse process"

That Christianity "keeps no record of wrongs" and that in fact someone who's done a bad thing and overcome it is a *better person* in a Christian framework than someone who didn't initially sin All because some douchebag lost his Harvard admission for making racist posts on FB

I don’t know much about Xtianity, but aren’t they supposed to do good deeds in secret? Not only would this be doing the good deed of apology & expecting acclaim, but actually INSISTING that your deed be perceived as good.
