Quote:The foundations of Christianity are often misunderstood.
Mainly by Christians
Telling people they don't understand (implying that you do) is one of the more patronising and annoying ad hominems. Most of the non believers here actually understand the history of Christianity very well indeed.
As it turns out,the sacrificed and resurrected god is a common theme in many religions. Christianity does NOT teach that Jesus was a demigod,but BOTH fully god and fully man. By that teaching Jesus was indeed ALSO a human sacrifice.
Quote:As for morality and ethics. If God buys something for you and wants to give it to you as a free gift, what's wrong with that?
WHAT? Are you trying to make that clumsy analogy an argument for the existence of a transcendent moral code?
The gift was conditional, not free; obey his rules,or he will hurt you.

Are you comparing me with a divine being?
