I get your point. However, it is the pop culture definition of Christian forgiveness. To forgive someone from the heart several tests need to be passed. 1. Is the person remorseful? Do they recognize their misdeed and are they truly sorry for it? 2. Have they made the intention toward correction? Do they want to stop perpetrating this crime? 3. Once one and two are cleared, do they seek forgiveness? I do not personally know anyone who would not fall all over them selves to give someone a second chance who they believe is truly seeking forgiveness.

If people are falling back on Christianity to forgive heinous evil deeds in which the perpetrators show no remorse or intent to change and could careless about your forgiveness except as they can use it to further their own evil behavior, then you are simply turning your back on evil. This is what I think motivates the pop culture to fear judgemental thinking. Note: I am not referring to judging soles as in ?judge not lest ye be judged?. I am referring to judging behaviors as bad or good based on what principle they violate.
