Christians also insist that we forgive the most run-through whores and marry them in their 30s.
Indeed, Christians must be willing to forgive the sins of others, as God forgives our sins. But whether you want to marry is entirely up to you. Everyone has their own calling. I have said so before, on this very forum.
In fact, I'd say if you are searching for true meaning in your life, you will only find in the Christ. You will not find it in marrying or having children, despite anything other Christians may tell you.
Christians must be willing to forgive the sins of others
This is why Christianity appealed to the serfs and peasants of ancient times who had to put up with the ravages of their betters. Advocating for a philosophy of internal forgiveness towards those who dominate you is a fantastic way to have your cake and eat it too. Forgive me (which I know you will) if I choose not to suffer that gladly.
Forgiveness, of course, requires true repentance and penance, and righting the wrongs of sin. Your understanding of Christianity appears to be rather incomplete.
You have not sinned against me, so there is no need for me forgive you.
