God's Forgiveness and Life Takers

Note: I will not attempt to argue for or against the actual existence of a God, rather the interaction between a God idea and a human need.

---

Arguably, one of the most destructive actions a human psyche can endure is taking a human life.

Whether the value lost is implied spiritually, or through family values, or through subtracted potential world-value (wherein the dead may have contributed to human altruistic worth) - is not important to narrow down. The point is there is value in life.

When you remove that value one's core is fundamentally altered and often corrupted. All orderers (those that command some to take the lives of others) use a "driving force" to attempt to allay the apprehension of this corruption of those about to take lives. Driving forces include religion, revenge, safety, freedom, law, or any number of ideologies. These are often effective in the short term - and sometimes are used to light a fire under those ordered. This fire drives them to the goal, but with time and introspection, that fire is often diminished. This leaves the life taker hollow and often morbid. 

No one can remove or forgive what has been done. Not the victims family, not your family, not your community, not your government, no one. 

But maybe God?

God, as the creator and ultimate end is the only one who can possibly correct the damaged human psyche. The need to be forgiven is so great in some that daring to deny their forgiveness (or Forgiver) denies any of their returned humanity. 

This is an ultimate need in some life takers; to be forgiven. To be denied this threatens self destruction, or at worst, seeking absolution through external destructive action (terrorism or religious zealotry [though this would probably occur through an orderer as mentioned earlier]). 

Life takers need God - or to thoroughly believe in the original driving force. Life takers with neither of these beliefs are psychopaths who do not see inherent value in life.  

You Don't Listen

And while this comic is just dealing with an awkward situation through humor, it is a sign of a deeper social decay. 

It is just an example of how objective-oriented culture and communication has become. 

Before we continue, the above example is the closing conversation, but it happens with opening conversations too:
1 
2 

So what does that mean, when both beginnings and endings to conversations are gone? All that is left is the middle - the facts and meat of the conversation, usually dealing with the business that caused the need for the engagement in the first place. Pleasantries and thoughtfulness are left behind. Pleasantries and thoughtfulness that make you engage with people in real ways. 

So not only do you not listen, by extension, continuing the train of events, you do not want A. a chance at a meaningful conversation outside, and B. (therefore) a chance at making new friends. 

That is one of the many ways to make friends, is it not? 
1. Engage stranger
2. Meaningful conversation
3. Continuing conversations and gatherings 
4. Friendship

This doesn't mean you can't make friends otherwise (of course), but you are, however insignificantly, affecting your chances. 

Don't argue that these are comics and art and fun - everyone knows art imitates life
