There are times when I feel justified in my anger toward someone, but then I remember that we're to forgive as we've been forgiven, and so I forgive. Without Christianity, I wouldn't have that reason to forgive.
I think my life would be worse by forgiving less. I find that forgiving is very good for me, but nevertheless it's not in my nature to be forgiving.
Oh, so christianity forces you to forgive? And, you need to be reminded to forgive. Nice morals.
You know you can forgive people as an atheist right? It's not only exclusive to christianity.
