Have any of you considered Jesus Christ and what He did for you on the cross

before you even were born? His great love for all of us overflowed and brought Him down from heaven to give up his life as God in human form to pay the price for all our sins and sicknesses for all time with the shedding of his blood.
There can be no remission of sins without the shedding of His blood.

Yes, and I found it to be a total waste of over 10 years of my life. Your last statement is why.

"There can be no remission of sins without the shedding of His blood."

Really? Almighty god couldn't think of a better way or execute a more moral plan of eradicating sin? I would never consider it moral to sacrifice anybody, let alone my own son, for any reason! If I were god, there would never have been a reason to in the first place!

So yes, I have considered it...

I'm quite certain he didn't engage in "begging the question".
If he existed, he was probably willing to support his claims with evidence, too.

That is good news out here in the midst of all the pain and suffering.

He said his burden is easy, and that's a lot better than the world's burden!

i have considered that the men who wrote the book you quote were merely seeking power over the masses and they achieved it by creating sin and guilt were there should have been none. we are all wonderful expressions of the creator of the universe. shame on anyone who teaches otherwise in the name of an all-loving, all-knowing, all-forgiving god.

Have you considered Prometheus and what he did for you chained to the rock before you were even born?

His great love for all of us overflowed and brought him down from Heaven to give the secret of fire to us so that we could rise up and build a civilization even at the cost of having his liver eaten every day by a giant eagle. There can be no human progress without Prometheus's sacrifice.



See? I can take your same argument and twist it around to support believing in deities whom you regard as totally fictional, such as the greek god Prometheus. Yet somehow you seem to expect us to convert to christianity, and not to the ancient greek religion? Isn't that a terrible double standard?

Signs of a cult:

Create a need (we're all sinning against an invisible God, and need atonement.)
Tell an impressionable person that they have that need (witnessing).
Tell them that your form of religion is the ONLY way to fulfill said need.
