Your morality (xtian standard or lack there of) is the sole perpetrator of the most heinous crimes of immorality to date (quickly being overtaken by your sister religion islam) I wouldn't be proud at all if I were you

I'm repulsed at what people have done in the name of good. That has nothing to do with what I said.

But why does it have to be necessary? There should be a personal need to forgive; not to forgive just because you're told to, but because unforgiving people tear themselves apart as a result.
For their own wellbeing and interpersonal advancement, they should forgive.

This mindset should produce more morally sound people than religions do.

Precisely. Your personal benefit comes before that of others. Small scale win, large scale fail.

You are not forgiven for failing as you must, and that colours you're judgement of others.

You cannot think beyond your limitations. Those that have thought beyond those limitations can forgive more.
