Nice one, Lek. Very intellectual.
I'm not concerned about being intellectual. Your posts show that you are very emotionally upset about the christian image of God. You hold him to standards that you have set for him, but God isn't required to live by our standards. I don't know why God demands blood for sin. He's the one who created everything. I just know that he does and that he loves us enough to shed that blood himself for us. Since your posts seem to contain a lot of angry statements and call God names like you do above, I was trying to determine if you don't believe because you think he's rotten. I'm trying to get an understanding of where you're coming from. You call yourself a happy heathen and I'm not sure if it means you're an atheist or not. That's why I asked.
Well, I don't believe in your God, but if he did exist, I would not like him at all. I think that's virtually what many other atheists would say as well.

In Mark 5 he told them he spoke in parables so that the people would not understand him and repent and be forgiven. So they could have been forgiven without Jesus dying, but he decided not to do it that way.
Thus contradicting Paul.

So justice for himself, not for us? Why the hell does God need justice for himself anyway? You'd think God would be way beyond all this bullshit he's imposed on himself and on us.
