No. I made a statement about my interpretation of christian concept of forgiveness, as illustrated by the quote from a popular prayer - not about people, who happen to be christians and choose to forgive. Those are two different things. Forgiving someone in order to have closure and end grieving process - that's one thing. Forgiving them because you're told it is expected of you, if you want to be a "good christian" - that's another.
