Because religion is impervious to empiricism, there's no limit to what you can claim to believe. Trying to figure out what some silent, mythical god wants us to do is a fool’s errand. That god is always and forever going to want what the person speaking for him wants him to want, and nothing else. (BTW, check out Deuteronomy 21:18-21 as to what the bible says about the coke snorting son). 
As for Scabs, they get lumped in with the same ilk as Bernie Madoff, Imelda Marcos, Charles Ponzi, and every other self-serving POS that put themselves first at the expense of others. It's not the act of crossing the picket line as much as it is the public announcement of selfishness and greed. Scabs have shown their true character and they get treated accordingly.

Do you ever forgive him? Is he ever accepted back into society after his one bad choice? Does prison time afford him a "reset"?
I was hired at United Airlines in 1996. I read "Hard Landing" and "Flying the Line". I think 570s are windbags full of themselves. I would never cross a picket line, but . . .
I am a Christian and I believe in Forgiveness. How do pilots justify hating somebody for their whole life when the offense occurred decades earlier? Is there ever a chance or way for a "scab" to be accepted back into the fold? If you make a choice when you are 25 are you marked for life like Hester Prynne? Isn't hating somebody 25 years after their offense a type of prejudice?
I know . . . now I'm a "scab lover" and subject to the same vilification, but that's ok because I'm a Christian. Actually I'll be a little proud if that's what happens

The problem with scabs, and I've known a few, is that they only seem to care about themselves. They also don't seem to even think they have done anything wrong. I doubt they would want your forgiveness. Crossing a picket line is just one of their faults.
