Only a few days before, I'd felt so satisfied that there was reconciliation in sacrifice, and that the death of the son of God would suffice for the redemption of humanity. I've since come to recognize that my objections are disgustingly selfish and probably more emotions-driven than anything else, but the question, as it tends to do, still remains. I wonder if anyone else has entertained the idea of the Ressurection's being an unneccessary element in the Economy of Salvation. In particualr, I wonder if anyone on this board has, has since reconciled their ponderings with traditional views, wishes to share the means with me, and will do so in a timely manner. It's good to be back.
Religion is bogus.
All religion is an exercise in futility to reach God. Now if you can't find the difference between Christianity and religion, then I'd have to say you haven't experienced genuine Christianity. Jesus built a system founded on grace and love, not hatred and rules. Depends on the dictator. OK, take a look around at earth.
