Let's assume there is a god. (We'll use the Christian one since it's the predominate religion in Australia.)
Homo Sapiens have been around for about 100,000 years. for 98,000 years people in the world live a harsh existence in insufferable cruelty. Invaded by enemies, horrific death tolls violence an everyday occurrence.
For 98,000 years Heaven watches with complete indifference and then 2,000 years ago says enough is enough. We need to save these poor bastards.
How though?
Oh of course human sacrifice. Lets horrifically torture, mutilate and kill a man to cleanse the sins of humanity.
In what universe does this make sense? Who'd want to follow a god that acts like that?
What is the more believable scenario?
That the universe and everything in it was created through random chance over billions of years and we are the product of an ever changing environment that did not require a 'guiding' hand.
Or
You can live forever if you telepathically tell an invisible man living in the sky that you accept him as your master so he can remove a stain on your soul present since before you were born because a woman made from a man's rib had the nerve to become knowledgeable after a talking snake told her to eat a piece of fruit.
Nice sook but you lack serious knowledge, have a google there are plenty of sites that can answer that question. You seem to want god to take away your free will as an excuse for humans not to act like turds. Then when you reap what you sow you blame it on God. From the beginning the wages of sin was death, set by god. Us twats chose to sin hence one day we will die. Eternal death for our arrogance and sin is separation from God before we get there we need to physically die. God loved us so much he sent his only son to die for you and me and then go on to pay that price. In know its big and scarey that all you have to do is believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life , my goodness what an asshole eh?
If you want to talk about eternal redemption do a little study first before spewing a rant on a message board about something you know nothing about.
Alright then. So in the beginning God created Adam and Eve in a paradise called the Garden of Eden. One day Eve, the woman, eats from the tree of knowledge thereby giving us original sin, a stain that is to mar the souls of humanity for eternity. All because of a little knowledge.
Lets fast forward to the Nazarene. Born of an immaculate conception it was his destiny to be tortured and killed to wash away our sins, luckily he rose three days later. A story so like the Egyptian god Horus it's a wonder he was never sued for copyright infringement.
But the idea that a human sacrifice can magically wash away your sins is both ridiculous and dangerous.
You do not truly accept responsibility for your actions by thinking "oh it's alright I confessed my sins and accepted Jesus into my heart so my sins are clean" The sins are still there as are any consequences.
A person aware that his sins still follow him acts a greater deterrence against doing wrong then a man who has his washed away every time he commits one.
