Sense , Nonsense and Absence

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?
