Well I guess I have ADD cause I only made it a little way in before I started just scanning instead of reading, which is when I noticed this:

He needed us to understand that we were, by nature, breaking God’s rules. We sin. You sin, I sin. According to the bible the punishment for sin is death. Just death. That means hell. Eternal life was only given to those without sin, which were aprox. none of us.

If Jesus is supposed to be a part of God, and perfect, the only man to be born without sin and to have led a sinless life, then how did he die if death is the punishment for sin? And how is letting man kill the "savior" supposed to save mankind from hell? Mankind is supposed to be saved from hell for sinning by sinning again? And why would God make a creation that was by nature going to disobey him?
I still don't get the idea that every one is born in sin, if God loves us and life then why is the creation of life a sin? If sex is immoral and wicked then why does it feel so damned good? I would like to think that a religion that preaches love and caring for thy neighbor would not say that you sin simply by existing, I just don't see how the idealogies fit together. I especially don't see how burning people alive was supposed to cleanse their souls.
