Haha.

To be fair though, Xtians "sin" as much as anyone else, they just think that they will get away with it in the afterlife if they believe.

I think at least one or two mega-church pastors per week get caught doing meth lines off male strippers....you can almost set your watch to it.

I don't think it's fair to say anyone sins as much as anyone else, religious or not. And the Christian belief is actually that nothing we do can save us in eternity, it's only by God's grace.

And I have recently changed my viewpoint on original sin, no longer believing this is the case.

I don't think the OP (and the associated picture) gets what dying on the cross was about...

Er... a nascent rebellion against Roman tyranny snuffed out by the execution of its leader?

Or, were you referring to the superstitious jesus, not the historical jesus?

God... why does every religion thread always end up with angry atheists bashing believers?

Why isn't there a thread that goes like this:

Christian: I believe in God and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Atheist 1: I envy you, Christian. I don't believe in God, but I wish I could believe. It seems that believing in some sort of God makes your life more meaningful and gives you a better sense of moral responsibility with your fellow neighbor.

Atheist 2: I don't believe in God, but I don't wish I did either. I respect the fact that you believe in God, but I live a life of rational thought and scientific curiosity that excludes the need for a Creator.

Christian: It's OK guys. I'll pray for the three of us.
