Well, lately happened again... Christians still have the nerves to talk to me about logics!

You guys are the last ones, which are allowed to do that really!

Gave it up, simply

No comments plz, no time for absurdity.

The Absurdity of Christianity

"God creates humans who, when imbued with free will, suddenly become evil sinners in need of redemption. He is supposed to be the omniscient/omnipotent *ahem* intelligent designer of humans, yet he somehow isn't to blame for this fatal flaw in what he created. Anyway, all of their sinning cannot go unpunished (an arbitrary rule created by him in the first place, right?), so this all loving, all knowing God decides that the best possible solution he can come up with to save humans (from his own punishment) is to take human form and subject himself to some torture and a crucifixion and have a blood sacrifice...to himself. This is supposed to absolve humanity of all its sin.
But of course, that doesn't happen..it's not really ALL the sins. There's the whole "not accepting Jesus" sin you still have to worry about, and you have to be REALLY SORRY about your other sins and not do them anymore, but the one unforgivable one is being skeptical and not accepting a story who's only source is highly questionable copies of copies of translations of translations of thousands-year-old crumbling manuscripts written sometimes by scribes who could not even read, just write (no originals of the gospels btw), arbitrarily canonized by people along their own power-hungry/theological/dogmatic whims.
God couldn't come up with a better plan than this???

...

Look at it this way. Let's say a serial killer stands before a judge for sentencing. Now, if the judge says "Listen, you are an evil person and you deserve the death penalty for your heinous crimes. However, I have an offer I want you to accept. Instead of facing the death penality, I am going to make THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE I will allow myself to be tortured and crucified as payment for all of your crimes. You are completely absolved of your crimes if you are sincerely sorry for your actions and am willing to appreciate my offer..oh btw, after I die I get to be God for all eternity"
Tell me...would the victim's families, or anyone else for that matter, feel that justice was truly served? But that's what God supposedly does according to Christians."

"Even if Christianity were true, Christianity would be absurd since the goal is salvation yet in Christian doctrine there is no clear and consistent way to achieve it. There is in fact an incongruity between Christianity's inconsistent views of salvation and the central place of salvation in Christianity. It is as if Christianity says, "Above all seek salvation! But there is no clear or consistent way to do it!" Could a Christian avoid this conclusion? Of course, he or she could try to interpret the New Testament so that these conflicting doctrines of salvation are harmonized or so that one of them is discounted. But such interpretations cannot be arbitrary. Absurdity should not be avoided by arbitrariness. For example, a Christian who read an earlier draft of this paper said that he found my view that the New Testament offers conflicting advice regarding salvation strained. The traditional message, he said, is that one is saved by trusting God as revealed through Jesus Christ. However, he neither cited New Testament passages to support his interpretation nor made any attempt to explain away the apparently conflicting doctrines I have cited. To be sure, one might be able to find passages that support the commentator's interpretation. But there are other passages that support conflicting interpretations."

Why the Trinity (and Christians) are Rather Absurd.

"Many Christians are under the impression that Jews and Muslims are misguided, not worshiping their precious Jesus, they are all doomed to go to hell for eternity (even when Jews don't believe in hell, or heaven for that matter, and they came along first!)

But, thinking about it... If the Trinity is a single diety (as many claim), then wouldn't the worship of one mean the worship of all?

I'm sure many could cry "but they don't believe in Jesus!"

So what? They believe in your Abrahamic God of the Desert, and if God is a part of the Trinity, wouldn't believing in him mean that according to your religion, as Jesus, God, and the Spirit are all wrapped into one Mega-Super-God (however they keep on carting this absurd concept is beyond me.) they believe in all?

Consider the ramifications of the concept of the Trinity. Why are they all one God yet not one God?"
