How does this make sense? First I'm going to create man and woman with original sin. Then I'm going to rape a 12 year old so she gets?

Does it make sense that there can be a diet pill that will cause you to lose pounds without dieting or exercising? People go from one miracle weight loss plan to the next and never lose an ounce, but they always fall for the next scam. Why? Because it is what they want to believe. They don't want to diet and exercise, they want to take a pill and wake up skinny.

The same thing with christianity, they don't want a religion that requires that you act morally, that's too much work. They want a free ride, "Join the church and you go to heaven and BTW - that incident with the little boy behind the rectory is forgiven."

Your ignorance of Christian doctrine is showing.

1. Adam and Eve were not created with original sin. Their descendants were born with it because Adam and Eve used their free will to violate God's commands.

2. Nowhere in the Bible does it say hat Mary was 12. Catholic Church tradition is that she was around 15. In those days, that was marriageable age.

3. The Bible clearly says that Mary's pregnancy was consensual on her part. There was no rape.

5. Jesus didn't ill himself. He let himself be killed. There is a big difference.

Geez, dude - I'm an atheist and I know this stuff better than you! If you want to pick apart Christianity, at least get your facts straight first, or you just come across as a mouthbreathing loon.

Keep reading!! The farther you go the less sense it makes. Eventually if you read enough of the bible you will realize that no god can exist as it's depicted, and that religion is a scam. That's the lesson you can learn, if you actually read it, and don't just "cherry pick" out of context verses.

It doesn't make sense.

I don't know of anyone who believes that.

In fact, I don't remember ever hearing of such a set of beliefs before now.

You forgot to blame the original sin on the talking snake who is 'evil incarnate'. Even though his kill count is...what, 12?

A sacrifice implies a meaningful and permanent death. That's not what the jesus character gave his sheep.

Makes zero sense, but then again, that never happened. You're like those idiots who call Jesus a zombie.

I love the irony here, you're asking us to make sense of something you yourself have little understanding of.

Mary wasn't raped by the way.Adam and Eve were not created with original sin.Mary wasn't not 12.

Mary was not 12. Other sources indicate she was 17. Clearly old enough for it.

Where in the Bible does it give Mary's age?

It doesn't make any sense, but then it doesn't take much to flim-flam a fundie.
