Haven't attended any. I just know what I've heard and read from the
Religious Right: Law and Order; Tough on Crime; build more prisons;
etc. etc.. It's increasingly clear that their idea of forgiveness
applies only to little stuff like sassing mom, not putting your clothes
away, and things like that. Major sins must be punished, and punished
as severely as possible.

Forgiveness and holding people accountable for socially unacceptable
behavior are not the same thing.
