but the point that you make is concise as it is true: guilt isn’t the same as repentance and the latter is a God-given gift

how r u guys? we need to catch up soon bro

It seems to me that a similar question might be asked of many Christians. If movies such as Avatar reflect some deep white man’s burden of guilt, then I think that a similar guilt exists in the heart of many Christians for the sins committed under the banner of Christ. In both cases, the one with the burden of guilt hopes perhaps that by becoming part of the oppressed people and leading them to triumph that will assuage the guilt. Or, perhaps these longings are but false pride.

Whatever the case, I don’t think the guilt is productive. Repentance and guilt are not the same thing and often do not have the same outcome.
