Believe in Jesus, the son of the God, who died on cross for our sins. God wants that the one who believe in His son, Jesus, would have eternal life in paradise after death. I can assure that He is real because of my experience and if you believe in Him, you will feel better.

So you allege, but have no evidence to back it up.

Again, an allegation that is evidence-free.

Then there's no reason to waste time on it. If God is all-powerful and
wants to give eternal life to everyone, there's nothing to be done about
it. God will save everyone and the smugly whiny believers who have been
gleefully threatening those who don't listen to their self-righteous
rants will have to put up with the unbelievers in heaven.

You are making indefensible claims.

Your experience with having hallucinations are hardly assurance that God is real, and even if he were I would feel worse, not better, because it would be disturbing to know that a magical invisible psychopath is torturing billions of people for all eternity.

Feeling better is not evidence.

important that you can shove it in our faces month in month out, but
you never back it up. Why do you keep running away? Is your faith that

Just to clarify: what would we accept as verifiable evidence?
Clearly, physical remains of his body would not be verifiable.
So would we be satisfied with written references from Roman

How can someone else die for my sins?

Think about it.

Why would God want that?
Why would God want anything?

So there is no possibility that you are just deluding yourself?
How could I *know* that you were not delusional?
Don't you think crazy people jibber at strangers on the internet all
the time?

People assure me they were kidnapped by aliens and anally probed -
that isn't enough for me to believe - people can sincerely believe
untrue things.
It happens ALL the time!

Perhaps.
However, I prefer the cold sting of reality to the warm comfort of a
delusion.

This is a practice called "scapegoating", and Jesus wasn't the
first nor the last such example. In fact, he was fullsquare in
line with Jewish tradition from which we derive the very term
"scape goat": a goat would be ritually burdened by a community's
sins and then driven out into the desert to die.

It's a very fundamental and widespread human instinct: someone
else pays for mistakes and misdeeds (whether your own or anyone
else's). We have whipping boys and fall guys. We have scape
goats to take the blame and suffer the punishment. Whenever a
horrific crime occurs, much (most) of the community wants to see
someone, anyone, caught and punished, and it is only of secondary
importance whether it's the right guy. Social unrest, economic
woes and military disasters? It's the Christians' fault, let's
throw them to the lions in the Circus Maximus. Crops fail, wells
run dry, the plague kills thousands? It's the Jews what did it,
let's kill them all.

Yes - a truly disgusting and corrupting idea.

If Jesus actually existed then his death was rather a shock to his
followers - the idea of his death being a sacrifice came 50 -100 years
AFTER his death.
His followers believed him to be the Messiah. They would have been
devastated by his death.

Traditionally a Messiah isn't supposed to get killed - he is
triumphant - restores the Temple and the Kingdom of David.
Jesus was a disappointment as a Messiah - so Paul came up with the
Sacrifice shtick - and the rest, as they say, is history (or
Mythology!)

A stroke of genius - turning an abject defeat (getting killed by the
Romans) into a mystical Victory!

A most disgusting idea. I love how Christopher Hitchens expresses his
contempt for the concept.
I couldn't do better than he.

Hey, genius - according to Christianity we all have eternal life whether we believe in him or not. It's just that most of us get to spend it being tortured by the loving psychopathic monster you worship.

Uh huh.

The idea that holding a certain belief will result in a reward only serves
to confirm that the belief itself has no intrinsic value. Furthermore, your
claim would serve to confirm that the belief has no philosophical
justification, in which case there is no reason to suppose that the belief
is actually true.

Josef

Torture is not decent. You are participating in a torture ring. I can't figure out whether it's better or worse that the torture is imaginary. Oh well, you loons have managed to squeeze in a lot of pre-death torture, so it's not all a figment of your imagination.

When Jesus shows up, text me. I'll become a Catholic and all my
sins will be washed away in the spirit of forgiveness.

Until then, I'll live life as usual. As a person who is socially
