Does this moral philosophy sound immoral to anyone else?

Asked by rockfan (14627points) July 4th, 2015

I’ve been asking a lot of questions about religion lately, but I feel like I have to share this. I was visiting my grandparents in Fort Worth, TX last week and we attended the Southwest Believers Convention, my grandparents (unlike me) are devoutly Christian. A speaker said the following during the convention:

“I may be talking to a murderer today. You kill people. But you wish you hadn’t and now you think there’s no way out. Well, just ask God to forgive you for it and make Jesus the Lord of your life and he’ll take care of it and you can go free. Glory to God. Isn’t that mercy? Glory to God hallelujah.”

I’ve always assumed that some Christians believe this, but I’ve never heard it preached so openly in public. Personally, I think this ideology is deeply immoral. What are your thoughts?
