True, Jesus didn’t so much “die for your sins” as “spent 3 days doing BDSM on a cross for your sins”. He probably enjoyed it too, given how much into submission and self-torture Christianity is.
That contract Jesus and his asshole dad have on us sucks.
“i will die for you. DIE! and all your sins will be forgiven!”
“awesome! thanks!”
“oh,and youll have to worship me and follow these rules every minute for the rest of your life or your skin will melt and your bones will turn to ash and you will scream in raging molten fire for eternity.”
“……i didnt sign that.”
“oh, by the way, i love all of you.”
Jesus is such a hypocrite: dies for just three days and then goes on to live in heaven for eternity. Meanwhile, he condemns people for not believing by sending them to hell for an eternity.
So basically it’s an empty gesture to keep the gullible sheep happy.

I thought it was going to go in the direction of “he died for your sins, people still sin” and “handled radium, noone handles that shit anymore because they take it seriously”
So then you see the merits of the teachings when interpreted and how they provide a necessary moral compass?
btw when Christians do it it’s just as stupid. But most are well above that and understand that it’s the teachings that are important not the literal wording.
The teachings part and sense of morality guiding them through their lives is why religion is essential to any sort of community construct.
That’s something people now preaching that they’re athiests are too fucking stupid and uneducated to understand. Even the icons of this stupidity seem selectively educated or simply not very bright.
You always bring up the argument about morals, but you never back it up. It’s a shame, really.
Why would we need old, outdated teachings when we have better moral lessons in every modern movie, TV show, or book of fiction? Let me answer that for you: we don’t.

Yes, “Apparently” Jesus didn’t die to stop people from “sinning anyways.” Right; the words “for our” [sins] means something else.
And one is real & the other is a myth

He was not on the cross for three days, dumb ass.
TL;DR
Autistic athiest.
Altruistic atheist*

But since Jesus was God, he made a contract with himself and then had himself killed, but since he is immortal he never really died anyway.

You had me right up until “And you still make a fuzz…”
Seriously, what am I, a dryer? I don’t make fuzzy lint, bitch.
When Christians take the bible as literal instructions they get called stupid.
So how come when “athiests” do it they think they’re clever?
When Christians cherry pick the bible they do it without any real justification.
When atheists go for the literal meaning they do so because the bible is the common source that all Christians have in common.
Both practices serve to undermine the religion in question.

Are you saying without religion we have no basis for morality?
