would you still love your father if he was a proven criminal?

Yes because...

VS.

No because...

If my father was a child molester and decided to not change his ways, then probably no. But if he realizes his mistake and tries to make himself better then yes i would still love him.

If i see him hanging from a cliff, then i would save him no matter what. But would i care to talk to him if he doesn't change his ways, then no.

If my father stole, then most likely i would forgive him. If he constantly stole, then i would probably forgive him.

I guess my answer depends on his future character and the level of the crime.

Forgiveness and 'good and 'evil' are delusions God has created.

Satan taught me that you don't need to love anyone but yourself, merely base your love for others on what is most practical for your gain.

Prove to me that God had created forgiveness, good, and evil.

And i don't see how your argument is a dispute to mine. Please explain. :)

Ask someone why they love their father. The answer is never "because of his criminal record."

Yes. My father was a criminal and I still love him. Jesus said to love your enemies.

he molested me and would have raped me if I had not left. He also beat me a lot. The poor bastard had issues.

Side: Yes because...

I need to know the crime. If he was a felon because he abused drugs a number of times. Sure I'll still love him, drugs are really only damaging to the person using them and anyone that get's in their way if they do something reckless, but as I said the charge was only for drug abuse not for endangering other people.

If he was a murderer, I'd mostly want to know his reason and how he justified it. I wouldn't say it was right even if he said it was a religious reason or for revenge, but I'd still love him.

If he was just a crazed maniac going around killing people because he enjoyed it I'd lose respect for him enough so that I'd stop loving him.
