Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’”

None of it ever made sense to me, even when I was a kid. How does torturing Jesus to death remove MY sins? He gets killed, that somehow absolves my sins, and now I’m obligated to worship him, and do whatever some guy in a robe tells me that Jesus wants me to do?
Or God. Or maybe both, because their kind of the same person, along with Dead Jesus, who is just as bossy as both God and Jesus.
And let’s not get into Communion. The first time that was explained to me, I was appalled. Then I was told about transfiguration, and I was like “You people are out of your fucking minds,” but I was only about 8, and nobody was interested in my opinions on religion. Decades later, and my disbelief has only increased.
