ABC and Forgiveness

Is Christianity really this far along the road to becoming an ancient historical artifact? Please surf to here.
I find the quotation marks in the title and the passage ("might seem foreign to most of us") to be saddening. This is proof positive that ABC News, at least, finds Christianity to be an alien thing. The quotation marks in the title bespeak an unconscious cynicism, while the frank admission of ignorance contained in the highlighted phrase shows just how amnesiac the mainstream liberal elites really are.
Regardless of one's religious orientation, it ought to frighten all Americans that the major tenet of Christian ethics is treated as if it were some sort of exotic custom. And this--from the people whose mission it is to inform us.
