Did Jesus Really Suffer?

Just as an aside, it was finally appreciating that the extremely well-establishedand and blatently obvious 'first messianic prophecy' of Genesis 3:15 was actually complete bullshit, that began my journey towards leaving 20+ years of evangelical christianity What finally enabled me to leave Christianity for good was the great phrase: Jesus gave up his weekend for my sins. Saw it here at EvC but can't remember who said it. Christian dogma depends upon a multitude of bizarre, limiting, and blatently contradictory characteristics it bestows upon a supposedly omnipotent and omniscient diety - it starts with 'holiness' and goes seriously downhill from there. It reminds me of a typical Escher painting - looks like a cohesive whole from a distance, looks perfectly sensible when any single element is examined. But when you focus on its interconnectedness, you realise the whole thing is nonsense Edited by cavediver, : No reason given.
