Forgive us evil, we know not what we do.
Forgive us evil.
let your heart decide your guilt.
we know not what we do = we do not fully know ourselves
Forgive us evil = wash away our guilt.

All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
I'd like to meet a person of any faith who doesn't believe this

I for one was a very strong Catholic. Now I'm just about atheist.
We have not fallen in the eyes of God. We have fallen in our own ideals of ourselves.

I don't seek forgiveness, I seek to deserve it and I know what I do.
Forgive us evil, = forgive us for our disobedience
we know not what we do = we refuse to take accountability for our actions and words.
Ouch! thats possibly the harshest interpretation.

I would say most pagans wouldn't believe in that statement. We doen't have an equivelent to this. I don't even know what it means to you.
Everyone does things which are wrong, that's how we learn.
I personally liked rico's statement very much.. if relegions didn't have a forgiving god in it.. ahh then what will be the fate of that relegion.. in hinduism you will take responsibilty for your every single action.. It is kids we forgive.. when they do something wrong.. and keep doing it wrong.. no matter how many times god said don't steal... there are people doing it a 100 times.. so the point that God will forgive.. is just a stupid excuse is what I think.. A forgiving God will not do wars over other people for stupid reasons.. I read old testment and saw the image of a Bloody war lord as God.. I didn't see a forgiving peacefull God in there.. they do not belive in me is not an excuse to kill them all...
I am expecting lots of thoughts on this..
