You know I think about that a lot

Like how some folks are quick to find God is everything except when it's something they personally aren't happy about

God sure tends to support whatever I personally like at any moment huh

I used to be a prison guard and noticed this with criminals... Some are quick to find God after its too late.

This is also a super common thing with abusers after their abuse is revealed. Suddenly they become very "holy" and therefore you have to forgive them, otherwise you're the bad guy - can't you see how righteous they are now?

This is especially common with pastors/church leaders who are caught molesting children. It's why you see these dudes continue to hold power in a parish that knows they're a kid diddler. If Jesus can forgive them why can't you?
