Never heard of Omish, but the Amish are cool with me.

The Amish are dealing with a tragedy in a way that provides them comfort and meaning, and I am impressed with their compassion for the family of the murderer. While I do not share their beliefs, I hope that they bring the Amish solace in this dark period.

I AM a believer, and the forgiveness the Amish have displayed is truly, to me, awe-inspiring--and VERY humbling, because I honestly don't know if I could do it if I were in that situation.
I praise the Lord for such good examples.

Amish people are generally very kind and humble. I've always admired them.
But they do have a very controlled society, and they do indoctrinate their children very heavily. If they had access to the media, the internet and the government, the way Evangelicals do, I guarantee you wouldn't be speaking so kindly of them then.

Forgive and forget do nothing to prevent future occurrences. Forgiveness is empty without justice. The Jews have been "turning the other cheek" for centuries -- it doesn't work!

Why can't you leave them alone? would you like cameras in your face while you had to go identify your daughter's body?
AND THEY ARE AMISH, NOT OMISH.

I'm not. The Amish do impress me. Not for religious reasons. and they never knock on my door or try to convert me.

No, but the Amish sure impressed me in their hour of pain.
