This is some of the finer Brutal Death Metal I've heard.

I became a huge fan with The Vile Conception. Honestly some of the sickest shit ever. Top of my list right now along with Benighted.

One of the members belongs to another group, Fleshgod Apocalypse, also some pretty good stuff.

I'm not a Catholic and not an expert on "penance". However, I do not believe in punishment in any form. I realize that this is not a popular belief in this world. Punishment to me is cruel. What is needed is not punishment, but an understanding of why what you did was wrong and why not to do it again. Out of that awareness comes the desire and ability to change, and to want to make it up to anyone you hurt. I believe in the concept that evildoers will eventually experience really bad things in life and after they die if they don't realize that they are very wrong in what they believe and do. They create their own hell on earth and after they die, because only God's ways bring forth good things to people and inner peace, and the Devil's ways if followed bring the person only a sad, frustrating, addictive and hellish life. So, it's like they are being punished automatically because of the path they follow, and no one needs to punish them, they are their own worst enemy, and if not now, bankruptcy mortgage lender uk automated forex system
somewhere down the road they will crash and suffer for their sins. However, I do believe that criminals must be locked up to protect society, but that they should be healed, taught, counseled, rehabilitated from the inside out, not punished and tortured within a prison that is so hellish itself that it makes its prisoners more evil not less evil. And once a person gets out of prison, there needs to be some way for them to survive, to get work, a place to live, and go on with their life, and this seems very hard usually from what I've heard. Also, in answer to your exact question, I would say that you are right, and that repenting is between the sinner and God, yes.

Well this is a kind of spam bot that I've never seen before. haha
