It's the same concept, just as we need food naturally, we also need food spiritually, which is why Jesus said you must eat of his flesh and drink of his blood (spiritually speaking), or you had no life in you.
So you can't sit here and claim that vicarious redemption is immoral without being a hypocrite...
-and I could only be a hypocrite if I was doing one immoral thing and not the other immoral thing. In any comparison of hypocrisy both things are contended to be immoral.......do you really want to go that route?
I'm probably hypocritical in a number of areas in my life, even though this has to be about the silliest claim ever made to that effect....so? Are you asking about my hypocrisies or the immorality of vicarious redemption? I suppose, if it's important to you to level that one.. and you absolutely insist that your food stuff wasn;t a jokepost......stringing a motherfucker up for my parking tickets is one hypocrisy I "somehow" managed to avoid? / shrugs
Look, I don't expect you to agree with me, but you seem completely bewildered by my position. The reasons you offered for it are so far out in left field I thought that...since you asked, you might want to know, lol.
