The crucifixion of jesus and why it doesn't matter

RE: The crucifixion of jesus and why it doesn't matter
Yeah, if they get time to say, "sorry about that", can't atheists use that time to say, "Ok you do exist. Sorry I used the brain you gave me."

That's really the crux of it. It's enough of a problem for Christians that they have to place responsibility for it on someone else, even though it goes against the way we consider responsibility and liability in every other walk of life. In any other facet of our lives, you are responsible and liable for the work you do. When it comes to god, the work is responsible for itself and god is the 'good guy' for cleaning up someone's else's mess.

And the only explanation is to repeat the claim, because there is no explanation. It's the equivalent of a battered wife who explains that her bruises are her own fault because she provoked her husband to violence.
"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."

So god impregnates a 14 year old girl and that being said he turned into said person jesus christ. Well we know how this would go if it was a episode of Maury. Anyways a 14 year old girl and god being obviously really old is and yes god is a pedo. Anyways back on topic why would god need to sacrifice himself/son because he is dying for himself to please himself. That in a way is like spiritual masturbation.. does god have a kink for being tortured and watching people be tortured and suffer. Back on track god died for himself so then in turn you guys go and praise him/jesus to get into heaven. Doesn't putting all your sin on someone who probably doesn't exist is kinda fucked up i mean you should held accountable for your own "sins" and explain to god why you did such things instead of putting it on a spiritual punching. That is all.

And no one asked 'god' to kill himself for them either.

God led the Hebrews into believing that one way pleased him and then, according to Christians, changed the rules on the Jewish people.

"God? Can you change these rules please? They suck!"

"Certainly not! I can't overrule myself. Unless... I could move part of myself down a bit, around a bit, down a bit more, then up here again!"

"Err.... sure?"

"And then, I can allow myself to change the stupid rules I made!"

"Do what you gotta do, I guess..."

What is stranger is that by claiming that their god needs a blood sacrifice to forgive, Christians are limiting their god's power which contradicts his being omnipotent.

I've been told otherwise, because you can't ask forgiveness after committing suicide.

You can if you cut your head off quickly. I hear you have about 8 seconds of consciousness. Plenty of time to beg for forgiveness.

God already knows you were going to do it anyway.

Just a thinker.

OK
So god wasn't happy with the his creation (fuck up #1) so he sent a flood to destroy everything except...(you know the fairy tale)

God wasn't happy again with his creation (fuck up#2) so he sent himself/son to die to fix all the problems (sin)

God (as foretold in revelation) will be mad at us again (fuck up #3) so he will end the world once again.

My only question is will he restart us again?

Yeah, you may still retain consciousness after your head is severed. Especially if you have someone else keep the blood from immediately spilling out.
