Most world religions include teachings on the [[nature]] of forgiveness, and many of these teachings provide an underlying basis for many varying modern day [[tradition]]s and [[practice]]s of forgiveness. Some religious doctrines or philosophies place greater emphasis on the need for humans to find some sort of [[divine]] forgiveness for their own shortcomings, others place greater emphasis on the need for humans to practice forgiveness of one another, yet others make little or no distinction between [[human]] and/or [[divine]] forgiveness. | Most world religions include teachings on the [[nature]] of forgiveness, and many of these teachings provide an underlying basis for many varying modern day [[tradition]]s and [[practice]]s of forgiveness.
