and make efforts to right your offenses with those whom you offended? It's infinitely more fulfilling than just praying alone. That's why Jews atone with the people they offended as well as with God, it reinforces being good people because if enforces accountability for your actions. You can do the same, with or without a god.
Christians, I'm not telling you not to pray for forgiveness, I'm asking you to be accountable not just to god, but also your fellow man. If someone steals your car, are you satisfied with them just praying to Jesus for forgiveness, or do you want your stuff back too, in the same condition it was when they stole it? Same thing applies to you. If you wrong someone, make it right. They'll come to forgive you, and you'll be a better, happier person for it.
