Did someone actually do that?Seems ridiculous someone would turn up claiming to be a son of something that created life on this planet. We know what happens to those people nowadays with so much more knowledge about this planet.
So the story goes.Did someone actually do that?
When?
Where?
To no avail.Jesus Christ sacrificed himself as well...
Which story? Who authored it?So the story goes.
Some (not all) Christians are known to disavow everything external to their chosen flavour of theism.A lot of the Old Testament is just a rehash of myths that had being part of other religions before that, that Christians then and now say were false religions.
To name a few:
The story of the Garden of Eden
Heaven and Hell
The virgin birth.
The Holy Trinity (God being in 3 parts)
The Flood (Noah)
Parts of the Book of Proverbs
Angels and Demons and their hierarchy.
To no avail.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
Flesh and blood, the striving for survival, that's all, no one or no thing else.
The corroboration of some beliefs with earlier belief systems, might just as easily be celebrated, rather than condemned, for its offering of intercultural credence to those holding analogous beliefs.
There is still heaps of people making a good living from claims like that, all over the world.Seems ridiculous someone would turn up claiming to be a son of something that created life on this planet. We know what happens to those people nowadays with so much more knowledge about this planet.

The Lord's Prayer in Parliament.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
As I said, our preamble is
Almighty God.
When I see him walk on water and prove that it's not magic, then I might believe him.
That's because the gullible still fall for it.

That's at core of Christianty = faith, hope and charity.
Charity is fine. Faith and hope seem to deny the ability of humans to control their own destiny.
No one.Who do you pray to, the state?
It is called - Freedom.
Charity is fine.
