    It's true, as @ebruenig & others have said, that we don't really have a culture of forgiveness. But maybe that's because we also don't have a culture of contrition and repentance.

        Not sure it’s even really forgiveness but more convenient forgetfulness.

        When one claims an entire nation is "exceptional," by definition it is perfect and therefore there needs be no introspection, no self-examination to learn where we've made made terrible mistakes and where we can improve who and what we are, and improve how we treat people.

        Not really. "Exceptional" doesn't mean "perfect," just "unique."

        The culture of forgiveness is impossible without a path to redemption which the current justice system precludes.

        Psople miss what "redemption" means: suffering, acceptance, and genuine emotion. It's what the whole Christ story symbolizes and are three things our culture is incapable of.

        Which is odd for a nation that supposedly believes in a deity that taught, "forgive my sins as I forgive the sins of others." Instead we excuse all our own evil deeds while calling down hellfire on those we think have offended us. Like Jesus was just joking.

        You cannot have any meaningful reconciliation or healing without the latter.
