So, for three days, the ship was without captain. I know what you're replying, but for anyone not believing, the trinity kind of makes the sacrifice null and void.

How so, a perfect man died on the cross, that's what it took so our sins could be forgiven through one sacrifice. Yes Jesus was God, God without His powers, the man lived a perfect life as God does.

It... does null and void it.

The only thing around here that's null and void is your brain. Grow up.

To coin a phrase:

You know this how?

My faith is in the one who died for me, He's also the one who imparted the knowledge to me.

No one else has what makes you think they could, they are powerless.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Does anyone else fist-pump each time a prominent religious guy sees the light?

I take my pleasure where I can. I hope to see a vaguely sane world before I die.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Which brings you back to the question; how do you know? By what manner was this knowledge imparted?
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.'

RE: Religious leaders/pastors turning atheist.
I liked this quote from Ryan Bell:
Quote:Ryan Bell: I think the best way I can explain the conclusion I’ve come to—and conclusion is too strong a word for the provisional place I now stand and work from—is that the intellectual and emotional energy it takes to figure out how God fits into everything is far greater than dealing with reality as it presents itself to us. - See more at: http://chrisstedman.religionnews.com/201...GTVpJ.dpuf
