I would say no. But, I've never done anything close to that bad I would need to absolve my sins for. Your turn.
Not buying it. Too many times people use religion to gain entry. If someone molests a kid, i won't be forgiving them. As much as they may want to pray to their God or not.
I was once offered a job as a tech. writer at Tektronix. I was a terrible writer in grade school and high school but I worked hard in college and in my jobs to try and overcome that. I hope I've shown some improvement.
