"This hits at a quintessential troubling aspect of all religions. That God wants (and needs) people to pray and worship him is evidence of one of the following:
* That god has real issues with self-esteem
* or that God is merely an invention of people with low self-esteem
Take your pick."
dying on the cross | 1 2 3 Religious Comics:
"It is pretty strange that God set up the following situation:
* God created immortal people predisposed to sin
* God got all pissed off when these people sinned
* God punished the original sinners and all their offspring (for all time) to a suffering mortal existence. There is no such thing as being born innocent from here on.
* God decides to “up the anti” and have people burn in Hell for all eternity after they die in addition to their mortal suffering.
* Because God is so loving, he decides to provide a way for people to be saved from this eternal damnation.
* God demands a significant sacrifice to atone for the “original sin”. He set up two conditions that must be satisfied:
1. His one and only son (named Jesus) must die for the sins of all others
2. Each person must accept Jesus as their personal savior
* Both of these conditions must be met before someone will be saved from eternal damnation and have “ever-lasting life”
It seems that a more simple amnesty could have been devised."
