I also think the second paragraph is word salad, and since those would be the cliffnotes of our conversation from your end thusfar.....
You tell me what scientists have said about blood, and how this makes scapegoating a worthwhile endeavor. Or are we hoping to bicker about something else entirely now?
Sure do, prisons aplenty, one of which being faith of the sort you espouse. I can't point to anyone who got away with murder by being a christian either (except all of those who got away with murder by being a christian, you shouldn't have to think about that one very long), but I'm not sure what this has to do with our conversation (or my statement, which you are either incapable of processing or willfully sidestepping by inserting your own little point to comment upon. This is becoming a habit). Death is a "consequence" of life, nothing to do with any ghost stories. So what does acceptance of Jesus do? Oh forgiveness, I see. Undeserved forgiveness is a whitewash. You do it because human beings require a release from guilt and anxiety. Show me how you've bettered yourself by believing? This acceptance does crush you, if this acceptance involves scapegoating.
That's correct, I haven't and I won't, because its hideous bullshit and it makes my skin crawl to know that people swallow it hook line and sinker. Even worse, I'm related to all of them (however distantly).
