It’s not really about when you die.
Did God Really Demand the Death of His Son For the Forgiveness of Sins?
One of the more poignant arguments against Christianity is that the Christian God demanded that his son be offered up as a human blood sacrifice in order for justice to be satisfied and forgiveness offered. However, the claim that the crucifixion of Jesus was a sacrifice demanded by God, ignores the bald, ugly reality of what actually happened.

The problem with fundamentalists is that they always choose the wrong verses to take literally.
We Sin because we fall for counterfeit answers for the Godly thing we seek.
Who Are We? (Your Answer is Probably Wrong)
You have an identity given by God. It can be hidden, but never removed.
The old theodicy problem. Rethinking our ideas about suffering, responsibility and whether God was following Adam and Eve around Eden swatting away malarial mosquitoes.
No one seems to have a very good explanation of what might count as a sin against the Holy Spirit. I have my theories.
I always wondered about faith. Evangelicals say that you have to choose to have it. Calvanists say that you are predestined to either have it or not. It’s a free gift that you cannot earn. But you have to nurture and hang onto it. Catholics and Orthodox Christians practice it with rituals. So many contradictory ideas
I think that fear of God comes from really knowing that God does not respect our limits.
Yeah, I believe in original sin. . . Finally – something that’s not my fault!
