Jesus's sacrifice

[The_Flying_Skeptic]

The Message of God is love, that's pretty much the gist of the whole thing. Jesus was the Message made flesh. The greatest show of love one man can perform for another is to give his life.* Now imagine giving your life for every single man, woman, and child on earth. Yeah, exactly.

*By Christian teaching, and rather logically if I do say so myself.

I lied about the idea of a deity sacrificing itself never appealing to me. I was a Christian before I became an atheist. I remember watching the Passion of Christ and crying over his sacrifice for all of us. Now, I see the problem of evil eclipsing a deity getting himself killed. The whole 'reason' the Christian deity sacrificed itself is based on sin, a concept that isn't even real. Hence, Jesus sacrificed itself for nothing. We live just fine not calling our bad behavior 'sin'. You should know since your girlfriend is an atheist.
