I don't understand why people do bad things and ask God to forgive them :) .Because God is almighty and they have to go to God ultimately or is it something else? :)

Then after long time now a days am visiting temples that means am I criminal?


Every visitor is not criminal or bad. But criminals are more regular on their visit. Many go for simple worship and pray for good for all. But most go for their peculiar reasons. Students visit before exam. Employees visit for promotion. Businessmen visit for more profits.

But seeking forgiveness is funny. When you commit crime or say sin against society and people, why not confess before police and court. The worst criminal will seek forgiveness before God and not court. On the other hand, he will give false statement in name of God.
Sanjeev, sometimes people get a situation in such way that they need to do crime though they know that it is sin. so later they goto god for forgive. Atleast the punishment for that sin will reduce. that is the main thing.

For example, a boy needs 5 lakhs in a days for his sisters operation as she need to get operated in 24 hours and there is no other go for him. So what he can do. he rob some one or kill some one and get the money.then give life to his sister.

He know it is sin. So he goto god and request him to forgive.

Some people goto god for forgiveness as they know that the crimes and sins they did in this birth will effect their next birth. this may be another cause.


Look crimes and sins are different concepts! What is a crime is not neccessarily a sin! For example when a person with no means to feed,does so to a hungry old steals food which is a crime in the eyes of law but may not be a sin! A kind of a moral problem!


Of course, sin and crime differ. Sometimes, these are common. Petty theft could be owing to compulsion of poverty. But the big offenders are criminal against whole society and they do not really wish to change themselves. Their act to seek forgiveness in temple is dramatic and devoid of any meaning.

People who do crimes do you think they believe on Geeta or Bible?I don't think so. :)
People who do crimes dont have any limits for anything for their life. they dare for anything to do

Yes,exactly. That's what I am telling throughout the discussion.
true believers of god never ask him to forgive unless he admits that mistake. Isn't it?
Also, true believers ask him for achieving certain goals, peace etc.....not forgiving his mistakes.
True believers of God can never lie putting hands on Gita....I am sure :)
Many deliberately and selfishly commit sins or frauds. They seek forgiveness of God only to give themselves a false satisfaction. Hence there is a phrase most probably coined by such persons:

To err is human, to forgive divine.

As you are human, go on with sin and crime. God's only job is to forgive.

Yes they will do because they wont punish immediately so they will say lies.
yes, you are right. If they get gap between the punishment and the crime then they will create wrong evidence and make the case more complex.So till the case get solved, the culprit will take bail and roam and even settle in life and finally he purchase people who is dealing that case. then the case get closed

It's really a contradictory proverb, can be added to Swetha's list

I remember a similar couplet in Hindi- Chhama badan ko chahiye, choton ko utpaat, kya hari ko ghatiyo jo bhrigu maari laat. (The elderly must pardon, the youngsters must be naughty. Hari (Lord Vishnu) lost nothing on getting kick from Bhrigu (a sage)
I also don't know but i Feel bad for those since they cannot do things on will
I feel most of the people try for easy money and finally they fix for robbing and they start performing robberies. But they will have small fear in their mind that someone may catch them, so they goto temple and request god to forgive them and they even offer some their robbed things to god.
This process even apply for other crimes too
God is great and they must give you forgive if you ask for it with your heart even you commit a Crime or else..........

Why should God forgive when you crime against fellow human beings. Only the aggrieved person or his close family may forgive. Seeking forgiveness from God is mockery of justice and human relations.
I think God being most kind of them all and most easily convinced they ask for his forgiveness. Others may not grant him the same as easily.
All thing have been decided by god itself if someone commit crime then the reason behind it God.......They make a such a situation that the man commit crime..........
They all like doing crime they do this things by asking god.
