I have never understood the story of jesus. So god created the universe knowing ahead of time that people would sin, (and jesus was foreknown before the foundation of the world) in (1 PET 1:20). Despite God’s failed experiment in the Garden of Eden, the mass execution of Noah’s flood and the final solution of Christ’s sacrifice, Jesus was predestined to be crucified all along. "He was chosen before the creation of the world,"
So one day, he sends his son, to sacrifce himself for sin. How does torturing a person forgive the sins of others? is that just. If god is all powerful, just forgive people. Why sacrifice himself to himself. All powerful, all knowing, all loving god was left with no other option but to torture and kill someone. How is jesus death a scrifice in the first place? After all he did come back to life and now is in heaven ruling the world. Six hours of agony on the cross is pretty bad, but so is six months of agony from cancer. So god sacrificed himself so we could bypass a rule that god made himself and that god deliberately designed, knowing we will never be able to meet. The reason behind the sacrifice, is mankind’s original sin...makes no sense. Why blame Adam for a moral lapse that he couldn’t even understand? Remember that he hadn’t yet eaten the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, so who could blame him when he made a moral mistake? And how can we inherit original sin from Adam? Why blame us for something we didn’t do? That’s not justice, and the Bible agrees: Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin (Deut. 24:16). pay off my mortgage, the bank doesn’t in addition forgive my debt. There’s no longer a debt to forgive! Why imagine that God must forgive us after he’s already gotten his payment? Must Iron Age customs persist so that we need a human sacrifice?
Funny you should bring up human sacrifice ... because it's the most damning to the christian claim of a "unique god."
Human sacrifice was around LONG before jesus was invented. Yet somehow the christards want to sell you a load of shit that somehow their "one and only all powerful god" just happened to agree with MANKIND's invention of blood sacrifice. It is humans that decided there is some sort of importance in blood. Why would an all powerful deity need to adopt a stupid human tradition that violates his own Thou Shalt Not Kill Rule?
I'll tell you why ... because it's MADE UP! The reason why Jehovah has ALL the same traits as every other god is because he IS EVERY OTHER GOD. What a fucking shock ... the "one true god" just happens to also have a thing for blood. Christians are just as stupid as the Egyptians were thousands of years earlier. They believe that the fluid running through their veins is magical because without it, we tend to die. They're STILL fucking primitives who refuse to let go of ancient superstitions.
