"Jesus died for our sins"

[The Blue Flower]

To those who worship the criminal, mass-murdering, swinish, moronic rapist, I say, 800,00+ have died for your god/emperor's sins. Quite the trick on his part, suckers.

1. And he only forgives ReTHUGs

Funny but sad and it works doe the gullible

[Tickle]

2. Save this for Easter

I’m being sarcastic

3. Jesus failed, sin is still with us

God dies for the sins of humanity (or is it inhumanity?).
I do not understand this Theology.
Are we being blamed for God's failures?
Did Jesus die for all sinners or only the ones up to his time?

If my repentance is needed, then Jesus' power must be limited, as it needs my help.
Is Jesus God?
Is God limitless, infinite, all power etc?
If God is limitless, then Jesus' death should have fully eliminated sin for all time and all people.

What is real? Can the unreal become real or the real become unreal?
Is evil real? If it is real, can it be removed? If evil is unreal, it need not be removed?
The Theology suggests that Jesus died for my sins, that Jesus has taken the results of my actions, my karmas.
This sounds like a good deal, but the Theology does not condone 'karma' as real.

8. How many people have died for Jesus?

Far more, I'd wager. If it was true, the Jesus story would be beautiful. However, because it's not true, it's quite dangerous. Which is why way more people have died for Jesus, for a fable, a tall tale.

The undoing of humans will be that they weren't able to accept that there was nothing more.

12. There's a reason I put it in quotes

It's the mythology that kills.

13. No doubt billions...

in the last two millennia.

4. Read the instruction manual....

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

5. I never did quite understand the connection

Or as my mom would say, "I'm so guilty of everything - what did I do? I'm being punished? For what?"

It's all to create confusion and control. Transsubstantiation, martyrdom, guilt ('I've been so bad, that man suffered because of me!').

They want your fealty, your money, control of you, to perpetuate their own power. Religious capitalism.

6. It's such a weird notion.

I'm supposed to feel gratitude because a person may or may not have died a horrible death that somehow has something to do with me.

Ok. Thanks a lot. For nothing.

9. Its easy to confuse Jesus with Santa

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

10. You're missing a zero in your number.

11. Jesus had to die because God continues to hold a grudge against a woman who ate a piece of fruit.

God the grudge holder also needs his earthly minions to judge and stone anyone who disagrees. All powerful my ass.
