…So God has such a selfish desire for drama and symbolism that he’d rather have his own child be horribly tortured to death than just take the easier option and be more reasonable with his own standards?
YOUR GOD IS A PSYCHOPATH!!!!
And for the life of me, I still don’t get the “logic” behind “fathering a child for the sole purpose of having him be tortured to death so you have an excuse (somehow) not to torture innocent people for a eternity for the sin of being born despite the fact that if you don’t want to torture people you could just, you know, change the rules you yourself made”.
Remember, in your belief God single handeldly created humans, sin, hell, the standards by which humans go to hell, and is the sole person who enforces the rules that send humans to hell. So if god does not want humans to go to hell, WHY EVEN DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS!?
Seriously, this is why I think monotheism makes even less sense than any other religion. At least Greek, Norse, & Egyptian afterlife myths had some consistency in their logic…
