LOL. So it's US that has a warped sense of atonement. Is there a dictionary that defines atonement as having someone else die to pay for a debt you never incurred?
That "author of goodness" crap almost had me snorting my coffee.
Something changed a perfect being in a lees than positive way? He created the sin, and could choose any other way to wipe it out. Can't you see what a infantile story this is?
Now notice how you could have phrased all those comments as questions or in a discussion format. Instead all your comments are peanut-gallery, comprehension-deficient, condescending nonsense that somehow meets a need in your head. Thanks for the example of why I choose to unclutter my feed with your contributions.
The ideas you champion deserve nothing more.

Literally. I intend to go to my grave without ever falling into that ridiculous mindset.
I believe you. And to you, yes, I can see that it appears to be a bad system. From my POV you're letting your pride get in the way. And before you say that you don't believe, many atheists say that even with proof of god's existence they wouldn't change their mind, so it's still a point within discussion.
And the fact that there is nothing that would change your mind is not from pride/ego? I know of no atheists that would ignore the existence of a god, once proven to them, as you don't have to believe if it's proven. They may not deem it worthy of worship...
