Moral, ethical and humanitarian implications be damned!

But the point is that if you've "backslid" you've not repented at all, you're still as bad as you were. Supposing, on the other hand, that ever since you committed the crime you were completely overcome with remorse, and "not a day went by where you wished you could change what you did". That's when God would forgive you. If you say that God forgives you as soon as you SAY you're sorry or a Christian, you're basically creating a straw man - IF God really were like this then his morality would be preposterous. He's be like a parent who believes every lie his evil children tell him.
