that psychopath, Gawd, seems to be especially hard on the people of Africa as of late. What did they do to incur his horrendous wrath? Or is that he prefers caucasians, conservatives, and hillbilly ranchers over poor third world peoples?

If Jesus had been packing maybe they wouldn't have been able to crucify him but.....if he hadn't died for our sins (an interesting concept) where would we be now?

Is that like dying for our freedumbs? My sins aren't exactly worthy of the death penalty.

Not according to the Sky Psycho. All your sins are worth dying for. Beware.

Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge. That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.
What makes your unreasoned faith in your brand of mythology any different from any one else's? It is the definition of tribal loyalty.
"Tell a devout Christian that his wife is cheating on him, or that frozen yogurt can make a man invisible, and he is likely to require as much evidence as anyone else, and to be persuaded only to the extent that you give it. Tell him that the book he keeps by his bed was written by an invisible deity who will punish him with fire for eternity if he fails to accept its every incredible claim about the universe, and he seems to require no evidence what so ever.”
― Sam Harris, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason

Of the existence of Jesus in a historical sense, without a doubt someone existed during that time with that name and was a rabble rouser among both Jews and Romans. He had radical ideas that caused an uproar and led to his crucifixion, which was popular form of punishment at the time. How he obtained sky god status and divine powers is probably due to a mistranslation of old Aramaic.

So Jesus loved everyone did he? Too bad his dad who has all the power is such an as#@&%e. He murdered EVERY human except one family headed by a drunk. What a guy! So much to love about Him!

And exactly how are we different now?

The list of brilliant believers who have made positive contributions is endless.
That doesn't make believing any more sensible. My mom is a Christian and she is convinced that she is going to hell for her sins. I suggested she find another religion. One that doesn't have such a severe penalty for being human.
One of the most stupid things about Christianity is the tenant that people can be divided into two distinct camps. The ones that get to live forever in paradise, and the ones that get to rot in hell. What utter bullsh#t.

Ron...excellent!
I plan to be a burden in my old age, so why not plan to be a burden in death? Some guilt ridden heir will not only have to look at me after I bite it, he/she will also have to move me, dust me, and feel compelled to shoo the moths away.
