@Watson
i said " 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." k. i see how what I said is contradictory if we start off assuming that a deity existed. I started off with the priori that a deity existed and ended with an atheist conclusion on the existence of sin. sorry about that. definitely nonsensical.
My not believing in the existence of sin infiltrated my line of thought.
Then I was trying to say that you must deal with someone who does not believe in sin and does not see the need to ask for forgiveness everyday - your girlfriend. She must be a very nice person since you're with her even though she has no belief in sin, heaven, hell, 'basis for morality'. Isn't she, in a way, 'proof' that sin does not exist? Tangent: how do you feel about your girlfriend going to hell 'according to most of the Bible'? Do you feel that way about that part of the Bible or do you stray for the Bible once again on this sentiment?
