Undeceived Wrote:Jesus is punished for sins he did not commit (namely, ours), while we go unpunished for sins we did commit. They cancel out nicely, don't you think?
No, I do not, and the concept of a deity giving out "get out of hell free" cards based simply on whether you believe he(read: his son) got nailed to a cross is ridiculous, in my opinion.
And how exactly are we going unpunished for our sins? Will we not be tossed into hell for not accepting Jesus' sacrifice because we are sinners?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
