I think the more important question is why god seems to find it so difficult to forgive (requiring blood sacrifices and his own murder/suicide) when people do it all the time without so much as a paper cut.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

You can quote it, while leaving a link to where you found it. If it's in a book, leave the name of the book, as well as author(s), edition, publisher... some form of book ID.

Triple Deity
Quote:A triple deity (sometimes referred to as threefold, tripled, triplicate, tripartite, triune or triadic, or as a trinity) is a deity associated with the number three. Such deities are common throughout world mythology; the number three has a long history of mythical associations. Carl Jung considered the arrangement of deities into triplets an archetype in the history of religion.[1]
The God you believe in wasn't the first 'triple deity' either.

That's one possible explanation for Christian apologists.

We are getting closer. You may see things in your lifetime. Time is running short. The end of the age is at hand.
But the concept of "original sin" is a truly vile one.
If your great grandfather smurdered someone, should you be held accountable?
We all have sinned. Break one of the laws and you are a lawbreaker. We are all in the same boat, grandpa included.
