This has been bugging me since I got home from work today. Jesus died for our sins, assuming you believe in God and all that. But if everyone accepts personal responsibility for their actions, does Jesus get a rebate?
Semi serious question.

Ya, there are ALOT of loop holes in that crazy religion. Some are kinda funny.
Also I don't think so.

In that case, if you belive that Jesus died for our sins, you can do whatever you want and not care, because somebody else is always taking the fall for you.

That is another thing that bugs me about Christianity. You could spend your entire life ripping off the faces of babies and making them into neckties, but if you "give your heart to Jesus" before you die all is forgiven and you get a front row seat in heaven. How the fuck is that fair to everyone else?SulfuricDonut said:
Yes, assuming everyone were to accept personal responsibility for their actions. Which I rate as only slightly less plausible than the whole Jesus story in the first place.
Well no... sins are only refundable when returned in orignal packaging. Therefore Jesus would have to return all of us and well who has that kind of time.
Shouldn't this be in the Politics & Religion section?
But honestly I have no clue. I'm still trying to decipher what you mean to say.

Question in return: if Jesus died for our sins, why has Christianity still a hell? Or did this only apply to people sinning before his death? If so, are now all the child rapist from that time in heaven too?
That's stupid. How should he know how to operate a microwave? He's a fucking carpenter!Corwynt said:
I doubt Jesus would go to the trouble of mailing in 3 billion receipts for his new sinphone, but I see your point.
Ok, I never had any sort of religious education since 3rd grade so this is an eye opener(my mom yelled at me after my first RE lesson when I told her that apparently the world had been created by this bloke - I never paid much attention to the teacher after that because my mom said she was a liar)
I always though Jesus died for the people who had already sinned not the people that were going to sin in the future.
Isn't that why hell is like supposed to be a threat or something. Surely if Jesus had died for OUR sins then wouldn't we not have to worry about being evil?
How many sins is Jesus good for? Do we each get an allotted amount of get out of hell free cards so that the value of Jesus is stretched further?
My original thoughts made SO much more sense.
