I thought Happy was a penguin.

Does everyone deserve to be happy?
not if they are a Sadist (a person who gets happy when inflicting pain on others or seeing others feel pain)
Like this person;
I am 21 years old, and I have a strange addiction. I have never been interested in drugs of any kind, I am a social drinker but that is all.
I kill things for fun, always have. I think its almost normal for young children, but I am nearing adulthood and it is still part of my day.
I come home from college, study really hard, and between breaks, I scour the yard for wildlife.
I usually catch lizards, cut off all of their legs, and their snouts up to their eyes, they live through that. I then disturb and ant pile and watch them die. The ants usually crawl into their exposed face. Another method I also enjoy is to simply beat them to death with thin sticks, ones that bend easily as to keep them alive longer. Simple impalement with a small knife is sometimes satisfying for larger ones, for smaller ones it tends to "shove them into the ground" and it is not very satisfying.
But they are simply easy targets. Anything really satisfies me. I of course won't hurt pets because I know that that could lead to problems for me, and I tend to avoid hurting mammals or anything that makes much noise when in pain.
I don't wish to do this to people, before the "serial killer" comments come in. Any time I am frustrated, however, I kill something in a brutal manner.
At least once a day, this happens.
Happiness for a masochist may cause themselves serious harm.

In the above post (51) they are doing this when they are frustrated. A frustrated person is not a happy person.
IMO Happy people don't hurt others. Hurt people, hurt people. Damaged people, damage others.
I don't believe that any other person can make another happy. Happiness if from within. A person can make you feel joy for a period.
Yes I believe everyone deserves happiness. I believe my abuser deserved to be happy. I believe if he was happy he would not have abused me. I believe my ex husband deserves to be happy, then he wouldn't look to external vices / people to make him happy. I believe the drunk driver that killed one of my best friends deserves to be happy, I would hate to think of the damage done to herself and her family living in torment for what happened for the rest of her life.
People make poor choices, perhaps even evil choices. I truly believe that there is no person that is above forgiveness. Forgiveness is a release for the wronged person and also has the power to set the forgiven onto a better path.

Forgiving doesn't make what happened ok, it means moving on and handing over its hold on you. You never forget. You are not giving them permission to do it again. It doesn't mean you have to still allow that person to be in your life.

so then explain why God has never forgiven Eve for eating THAT apple.

he did. He got his son Jesus tortured and killed for Eve's stupid mistake so that sin could be forgiven.
You know what. This is the premise for the whole of Christianity. I seriously don't get it. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
You have kids right. Do you expect them not to misbehave?

He has. That is what Jesus was about. He died that EVERYONE'S sins were forgiven, past, present and future. Even the people that persecuted Him and murdered Him. His last words...Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.

Bob, the reason Jesus became man was because God saw that manking could not live by Law. Jesus was the end of the rule of Law and the beginning of living under Grace.

And Jesus had a choice. At any given time he could have renounced the Father. He was not an unwilling martyr.
