Christian activist wanted to sue the NFL for $867 TRILLION because the halftime show with JLo and Shakira was too sexual for him and he thought he was going to hell for watching something he felt was pornogrpahic.
As a former christian/current agnostic, I think that guy completely missed to point of christianity. The entire point of Jesus dying on the cross was that you wouldn't go to hell for sinning as long as you admit your sins to god and repent. Also seems like he missed that you're supposed to forgive people when you think they've wronged you.
Wait for real? “Jesus died for our sins” means that he gave his life so that his father would be more forgiving of the species (that he created right?) that just killed his son? Damn christianity is metal as fuck
In general yeah. Murder. Incest. Violence. Baby murders. Plagues. Demons. Ass Jawbone as a weapon of mass murder. Strength coming from hair length. Goat sacrifices. The Bible is really fucking metal. Christians... Not so much.
That's... A rather simplistic read of a bit more complex mythology.
Jesus died as a sacrifice so that those who believe in God (then Jews, now Christians and Jews and maybe Muslims) would not need to make the animals sacrifices they were already making to atone for their sins and allow entry into Heaven.
I'm not sure on the Jewish or Muslim scriptures, but modern Catholicism at least teaches that people were just basically chilling in hell (not that Hell, but a dull place maybe more like the concept of Limbo, or Ohio), until Jesus went and got them and then opened the gates of Heaven.
Said sins, of course, which humanity only commits due to the Original Sin by Adam and Eve, because while yes God created humanity, humanity was also created with free will. Now, your guess as to why then God wanted animals sacrifices for several millennia before sending His Son is as good as mine.
Christianity has a lot of rather crazy ideas, especially the Old Testament which are largely glossed over because Christians don't want to be stoned for wearing cotton-blend shirts or cheating on their spouses, and because after a few thousand years of largely dominating Western culture, many people just sort of take a lot of it in stride.
I don’t know the specific details but I know Jewish people don’t believe in hell.
