Lots of people die for their cause.
I'm an agnostic weak atheist.
I don't believe in a higher being as I maintain that the concept of such a higher being is fundamentally, logically and morally at odd with proven scientific fact and the laws of existence. However, I also maintain that when anyone who supposes they can prove the existence of God approaches me, I am call bullshitting - largely due to my fundamental principles that God is unknowable and beyond any concept that we could imbue. In other words, I don't believe in God, nor do I believe the existence of God could ever be fundamentally proven. (March 4, 2014 at 2:55 pm)JesusLover1 Wrote: But he died to save our souls. That's pretty weak, for an almighty god.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Could you ever envisage dying for your child to prove to yourself that your child is worth saving because you are tempted to kill your child? Unless, of course, God committed suicide to save the human race from his murderous inclinations?

If you had been the only person to ever live, he would have died just to save you. Well man CHOOSE to allow sin into the world when he ate from the tree, it was man's will, and God cannot allow imperfect souls to heaven because he said sinners must be punished and he cannot go back on his word. It's the only way he could do it without contradicting his word. He gives man the choice of heaven or hell, but died for us to show us his love. |
