This looks like it'll get interesting! (I'm just poking into the thread so I get emails and remember to read it!)
Yes, please explain what the fu...dge God/Jesus/bigdaddy brutally punished himself for.. and how it was good for you and why it gives you reason to love/worship him. Personally, the whole idea has me stumped... couldn't the bastard just forgive you for being you? instead of dying to prove (something?) to himself? to you? (HOW?)
I've heard a lot of funny ideas about this... none have satisfied me and I'm very, very open minded to Christian interpretations.. I love listening to them all the time.
And on the topic of evidence that this happened.. and furthermore, Jesus then rose from the dead and all, I trust this evidence wont be the kind that is passed on over generations? or that of a brain fart?
I do hope I'm not asking for too much :S
