Was Jesus' sacrifice really a sacrifice at all?
#25
RE: Was Jesus' sacrifice really a sacrifice at all?
Realistic: Jesus existed but had no magical powers of an kind. Was an ordinary man like any other and spouting bollocks, pulling off magic tricks and started to become a bit of a nuisance and a threat. So the Romans decided to remove this little problem through execution by crucifixion like it has with many thousands of others. This made jesus into a martyr (which wasn't the intention of the Romans) and now not only has this given birth to a new religion with it's own martyr and symbol. That little problem became a rather large one. Jesus did not sacrifice himself, he was executed for being a pest.

Realistic 2: Jesus is entirely fictional as he never existed.

Fantasy: Jesus was son of god, did all the things that had been claimed like turn water into wine and walked on water, and that he sacrificed himself to remove sin from all those who follow him.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
