I find it both amusing and telling when Christians try to apologize for the bad behaviour of other Christians, while at the same time disowning them.
It makes perfect sense, though. Believers choose to let Jesus take the fall for them, and then claim that they've been forgiven by this mythological third party for acts committed against other people (even though the aggrieved mortals may choose to never forgive them). it isn't much of a stretch to use this "I'm forgiven, deal with it" mindset to blithely dismiss the historical barbarities committed by Christians in ages past.
