So
@elitejp, if I understand this right:
Your God sacrificed his son
Who is also himself
To himself
To
stop himself
From throwing his own creations
Into the Hell he freely chose to create
(but never mentioned to the Jews; no, he let the pagan Persians and Greeks do that...)
For the sins he
knew they would commit
With the free will he freely chose to give them
(which somehow does not conflict with his omniscience or absolute sovereignty)
Before he created them.
And all this because a woman made from a man's rib
Ate a piece of fruit from the tree your God deliberately put in the garden
Knowing she would eat it after the snake (which he
also put in there) told her about it.
...riiiiight. Keep on keepin' on, champ. Whatever makes it easier to sleep at night. Me, I know an abusive father when I see one/
