Quote:I wasn't trying to prove the story is true. That wasn't Robbypants' question. His question was about the meaning of Jesus death.
I was just saying how the Bible explained it - not sure how that's bullshitting to the nth degree. Feel free to suggest alternative explanations by all means.
So, if you don't think the story is true, then what was jesus' "sacrifice" about? The bible is a house of cards. If you start dismissing the foundational stories the whole thing comes tumbling down.
If there was no "fall of man" then who needs "jesus?" And to believe that the fall of man actually happened is roughly akin to adhering to any other creation mythology put forward by other cultures across the world.
It's the 21st century. Time to abandon ancient superstition.
