John 10:18:(March 28, 2013 at 7:20 pm)Undeceived Wrote: So let's make a judgment of God as he is depicted in the Bible. God sends his son Jesus to suffer and die for our sins, so that we may live forever. How do you (or other atheists here) make sense of this behavior?
Die and then come back to life after the weekend to reign eternally in heaven.*
Would you like me to send my son out to suffer, and die, so that I'm able to forgive my neighbour for keeping me awake at night?
Jesus speaking, "No one takes [my life] from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again."
All other information aside, is this God good or bad?
