  As an old guy, I still do not understand how Jesus being tortured to death somehow absolves all our “sins” (whatever that means), and keeps us from “unending death” (whatever that means). Nothing about religion, ANY religion, makes sense.

  I am open-minded enough to acknowledge that we know almost nothing about the Universe, and there may be some entity beyond our puny human comprehension, but ALL religion is simply a clumsy human construct attempting to make the unexplainable understandable for humans that require protection from the scary mysteries of the Universe.

  He died because he was put to death. There is no divinity that creates purpose in people’s lives and deaths.

  Shouldn’t you rephrase that? If what you say is correct, isn’t Jesus an animal who willingly offered itself up as sacrifice to the local shaman, rather than simply bring sacrificed?

    He offered himself To the Jewish Priests and Religious leaders who condemned him. Why do you think he’s called the Lamb of God? Lambs got sacrificed in his day!

      Did he really, or did he get betrayed and then captured?

        He KNEW he was going to be betrayed. That’s in Scripture. Yet he allowed himself to be handed over to fulfill what was written and to be a Sacrifice for our sins.
