My son doesn't have lupus this is a hypothetical scenario.
Avoiding sunlight is the primary change to the lifestyle of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus sufferers. I can't help but wonder how I would be viewed by onlookers if I demanded that, every night, I have my son apologize to me, and everyone else, for the lifestyle changes we have had to make because of his illness.
This is exactly how our society treats sin. Sin means that we make mistakes and they range from very small to unfathomably large. In our society we are expected to own up to our mistakes, but for some other reason, we are supposed to feel remorseful for our capacity for mistake making; and acknowledge that it will never change by our own means. What depressive and pessimistic thinking! Why does this remorse exist within society? Logically it doesn't make any sense at all. We apologize for our current mistakes not future ones. Our will is to grow not to feel sorry for living the way we have to live.
Someone a long time ago wanted to keep us down and they were successful. It's up to US say NO to taking responsibility of things beyond our control. Just as a child apologizing for a terminal disease is ludicris is just the same as apologizing for being human.
