Did you forget you were omnipotent and omnscient?
John. I appreciate your sincerity and your effort in addressing this. But really. My 13yo boy genius would rip that to shreds.

How does the death of JC expunge mankind's sins?
Does God support human sacrifice?
Why does an omnipotent God need to do any of this?
Why does He need us to worship Him?
The Holy Trinity- did god kill and resurect himself?
And lets not start on start on free will. We'll need another thread,and Im in no mood for St Thomas Aquinas because its beer oclock.

For gods so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever belieies in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

None of that makes any sense, at any level. Xtians will fall back on the mantra -"we cannot know the mind of god, can we?"

The alterrnate explanation is that this all superstitous nonsense surrounded centuries of gilding the lilly.

As a Christian, I imagine you reject other beliefs. Many Christians think other religions are silly. As Richard Dawkins has said, and he borowed this thought from a well known quote I cant lay my hands on right now...

"We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
