You're talking about redemption like it's supposed to make up for what they did or wipe it away somehow. That's not what redemption is. If someone kills someone, they go to jail or whatever punishment is seen fit - they face the consequences of their actions. Feeling sorry about it doesn't get them out of that. And it has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not I would forgive them or understand them. Being redeemed in my eyes (or anyone else's) isn't true redemption.

Redemption is about stopping them from doing more evil. It's about them accepting what they did was wrong and wanting to make amends, even if it were impossible for them to actually do it because there's no such amends that would make up for what they did. The power of redemption is the future. It's making sure they don't commit MORE terrible acts, and it doesn't absolve them from the consequences of what they've done.

I have never heard anyone use redemption in that way. EVER.

That's how everyone I know uses it.

As someone below said, you and apparently everyone you know is confusing what redemption is.

Redemption: the act of being redeemed
Redeem: serving to offset or compensate for a defect

Sorry, but you can't redeem yourself after murdering a bunch of people. Unless they can bring those people back to life, some people are irredeemable.

^ That should be to op

Uhm... Up until today I thought everybody used it that way, and it never occurred to me people would define it differently.

I just wanted to say I really resonate with the compassionate approach here and feel it's something that isn't particularly trendy now, but I agree with everything you've expressed in your posts.

It's very hard respond to something monstrous with compassion, but that is what will ultimately make us better people.
