Christians: A Question

RE: Christians: A Question
(January 4, 2012 at 7:21 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: I think the confusion arises from the perspective one places on Jesus. Of course the man, in his ability to suffer pain and the instinct to live, is an unwilling victim. This is also God tho', so the man is sacrificed for a higher purpose which he can also know about. Do you need that clarifying further?

But WHY was a SACRIFICE needed?

Why?

Couldn't we all have done 100 press ups to please god boy, or wrote "I will not sin" 1,000 times?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
