You come up with a better way of spreading the message of love than what Jesus did. You're clearly smarter than God, you can do this easy, I'm sure.
Quote:I'm not sure if Jesus existed but sin does not clearly exist.That wasn't what I said. Your argument was that Jesus existed but that He gave His life fo rnothing because sin does not exist. My counter-point was that, if Jesus existed, then so to does sin, obviously. Jesus was the prodigal son of God, so if Jesus exists as a divine man, then so does God, therefore so does sin. You're point was compeltely nonsensical.
Quote:You don't even know if Jesus sacrificed himself for your 'sin'. You've admitted your doubts of the only 'historical account' of Jesus: "I can't be bothered to read all of those right now, but funny enough Min, whhat you say is true! God would never say some of the things which are written in the Bible. What a novel concept! God isn't limited to what one book says about Him! Insane, I know." source: http://atheistforums.org/thread-3679-pos...l#pid70154
I don't know if Jesus existed, I believe He did. I don't deny what I wrote there at all, because it is how I feel about the Bible. It is what I believe. What are you even talking about with the first-born son crap? What does that have to do with this?
And no, my girlfriend does not believe in sin. Obviously.
