Isnt God kind of childish/egotistical?

[Mr Camel]

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 dont know. I am trying to accept the Christian theology that every one needs to be saved from their sins, but I cant buy it.

I dont think God killed Himself, some people argue that. How I see it, is that total serperation from God killed Him. No one can live without total serperation. If one beleives in God. God is the giver of life, without Him, you are dead. But Jesus is God? Jesus became sin, thus He was absolutely connected from God and perhaps His divinity?

You can't accept it because you can't buy it. I think you should listen to yourself.

If God is Jesus and Jesus is God and God sent his son Jesus to die, then yes, he killed himself.

Without God we're dead? I don't feel like a zombie :S
Are you saying Jesus was crucified because he was separated from God? What are you saying?

No. The God of the Bible you see is an idea, concept based on 2,000yrs of evolution. I dont worship a God like that, I wouldnt be a Christian if I did.

Funny how Christians believe that though.. err

In Ancient history, decades isnt that long. If it was centuries, then I would agree with you.

What? Time was different back then?

That's fine, but now you're just picking and choosing which parts of the bible to believe and which not to believe in the very book that's supposed to be the word of god. Even so, you're simply basing his character on the parts of the bible you like and not the parts you don't like. I contend that you have to stretch the logic simply to get him palatable for love (like in my example above.)

Im not at all. You need to understand theology. Read Genesis 1 and 2. Write how you would interpret it. Read it again. Think of another way to interpret it. Read it again. Then write another way to interpret it. Now you understand how diverse and complicated theology is.

You need to understand when logic is most necessary.. you're picking and choosing - doesn't that give you the idea that maybe the whole book is useless?? People don't write books full of contradictions and lies unless they intend to deceive.
