I quoted the Bible at you because you claimed that you knew something about Christians that was clearly untrue. You ought to know, with all your talk of indoctrination, that what Christians are indoctrinated in is usually words from the Bible, what they generally take most seriously are quotes attributed to Jesus Christ in the Bible.

Most Christians, including myself, say the Lords Prayer more often than any other piece of prose.

"It is forgive us our trespasses and we forgive those who trespass against us. I am sorry. But there is nothing in that, that gives US the right or responsibility to go out and forgive third parties for their sins. We can tell you that the Lord will forgive you if you want it and if you do a few simple but admittedly difficult things.   
We can only forgive those who trespass against us. For instance, pete can forgive you for the way you treat him but not for the way you treat me. Likewise I can and do forgive you for what you try to do t me. But I can't forgive you for doing the same to others. So I want you to knock it off. I am trying to get you to knock it off. And except when you bring it up directly. I am trying not to offend you with talk of religion.

I am sorry I did not explain this aspect more fully. I assumed a certain basic knowledge on your part. Maybe I feared that you would accuse me of talking down to you if I explained it more fully. In either case. I take responsibility for communicating poorly. Please forgive me.
