I still don't see any evidence that any jesus ever did anything. Your just-so stories about who and why (and lacking a how) don't have the power to change this narrative from being one of scapegoating.
Quote:My point exactly. In the same way, God couldn't let the sin just dissipate into the air. It had to be done away with, and someone had to pay for it.Lets add that to the long list of things your god can't do then? The manner of payment is precisely what I take issue with in this fairy tale.
God provided the bail for the people who had offended him.
