Who continues loving a jihadist that raped her mum to death, them stabbed her little sister and then raped her herself? Show her to me. That's the need for God and His kind of love -- Agape. Agape isn't liking a wicked man, it's having no I'll will towards him and doing him none of what God calls harm. Here the ones who want to be good without God fail, because they can't.

Man is inherently proud and selfish, and lacks the right kind of love, inherently. Pain makes even a mother to reject a son of her womb which she bore for 9 months. People try to forgive unrepentant traffickers, rapists, jihadists, abusers, programmers, etc, but fail to, because they can't.

When a character forgives effortlessly or does things we ourselves know are too hard to do, normally, we might be writing fantasy without knowing it. Which man doesn't wanna be good? How many are? They can't.
