I just don't get this twisted mindset anymore...

yeah, reply back:
John 3:16 'God sacrificed himself to himself so you could avoid a place that he made himself.'

Jesus tastes like stupid!

I dont either. Even when I was a christian I wasnt that big into it, actually fr0d0 would have seemed conservative when compared to me at the time.

What this friend of yours posted is flat out nutty sounding to me.

Every time I hear this I ask what happened before Jesus was nailed to the cross? Nobody reached salvation because Jesus hadn't been sacrificed yet? The response is always about the new covenant and I just tune out because I don't like leaps in logic.
