There's a pretty famous story in the Bible where Peter –

said to Jesus, Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?

Up to seven times?

And Jesus said, I tell you, not seven times, but 70 times seven.

And Peter said, so 490 times?

And Jesus said, oy, Peter, always so literal.

Yeah.

That one's pretty good, but you know, you can read Hindu, you can read, the Buddhists talk about it, like everyone, every religion talks about forgiveness as kind of a

maybe a cornerstone of the religion in some cases.

So much so that when science started looking into forgiveness and just trying to figure it out, generally people just presumed forgiveness was under the realm and the domain of religion.

That's where you went for answers about forgiveness.

And science said, ho, ho, ho, we can top that.

Surely we can beat that 490 number.

And that's what they've said about doing.

Yeah.

I mean, Jesus forgave his crucifiers.

It's like one of the few things Jesus said on the cross, according to the Bible, was they know not what they do.

Like, forgive them for they know not what they do.

Right.

And like you said, it's not just Christianity, although Christianity gets all the accolades for forgiveness.
