Your argument presumes too much. It presumes that there is sin as described by bronze-age texts, rather than just actions by people at odds with their own good, and the good of others. It presumes that there was "only one man in the entire history of the world" who did anything, and that it needed being done. The bible is true, because the bibles says it is so, is circular reasoning, and is rejected by anyone with an ounce of logic.

The pagan tradition of scapegoating precedes the Abrahamic religions. It was adopted by the early church as one of many rituals, to help them convert pagans.

What an abomination to believe that because we are born sinful, if we don't pass some test in our short lives, we will suffer for eternity. It's nothing more than a control written in to make you subject yourself to the men who are in charge of religion. Wake up.

Your creator won't have thoughts. You suggest that he thinks as do we. To know all, means that there can never be another bit of knowledge added to the knowledge your creator has. This means he could never have another "thought." All would be always known. You cannot hide from the horror that bronze-age men made into your bible. I refuse to subject myself to following an immoral, bronze-age myth. The foundation - original sin, is itself an immoral concept. We are not born as slaves, shackled by sin to some mythical ancestor. The true arrogance is believing that a creator that has always known everything would have any interest in your pathetic thoughts and lives.

For the majority of times since the bible was cobbled together, it would get one tried and convicted of heresy to declare anything other than the bible being completely, literally true. If one believes that it is literally true, then god committed the murder, having always known he would do so. It one thinks the story is allegory, that still leaves them with all their work ahead of them, because there is no way to take an all-knowing god, and then make anything but a horror story of the flood and genocidal murder.

Your religion teaches us that god killed every human on earth, saving only Noah. Consider this: If god knows? all, and has always known all, then god always knew that he would create mankind. God always knew that when he created mankind, they would fail, and fail greatly. God always knew that he would be so angered by his creation, that he would drown them like rats, all of them, save one family,? that of Noah. Yet, even knowing that he would slaughter his creation, he? created them anyway, watched them fail, and slaughtered them mercilessly. God is a murderous monster. Good thing intelligent people don't believe in the god of Abraham. We reject your religion because it is an immoral philosophy, and damned insane.

I too celebrate christmas, and I don't join in atheist lawsuits against christmas. But to claim it's about loving our sin and not being repentent is ignorant, and purposely divisive. I too can be divisive when it comes to speaking about religion: It cannot be moral to burden a newborn with a debt it did not incur. The concept of original sin is immoral. It cannot be moral to allow, nor to accept the torture and killing of another in your place for a crime you did, or did not, commit. Clearly, that is the pagan practice of scapegoating. Christ's death cannot absolve you of anything. It would be immoral for you to accept his torture and death. I think your religion is an immoral, death-cult philosophy.

I believe Obama is trying to bankrupt us to install socialism and ultimately communism. His mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, a friggin' card-carrying communist.

You cannot address the fact your religion is immoral, so you want to outlaw me and/or my right to free speech? Typical hypocrite christian. No doubt that if your god was real, he'd send you to hell. Why is it that most christians, are not Christ-like? Do you give away your property and give no thought to the morrow? Of course you don't. Even you don't believe your own bible.

By the way, lawsuits that force people to respect the constitution are okay by me. I'm not frightened by proper application of law according to our Constitution.

Note that I already mentioned I don't support the lawsuits.
