Did Jesus truly die for our sins? It seems we are to be eternally grateful and yet the world is full of sin. Does this make sense?
Legend has it. Humans are never grateful. We doubt the existence of God. Reason being we refuse to surrender our right to understand the universe we choose to define.
Sin can be defined many ways. To me, sin is the willful absence of God. IOW, we choose to run the show and ultimately screw it up.
To some, religion is a fairy tale for grownups and makes no sense.
The bottom line is how we would choose to relate to a God incarnate if He (or She) DID exist.
Are we too old for the fairytale? Or are we too arrogant to consider it?
