Oh I just meant why jesus died for us when he knew we were fallable, does it really matter, in my own opinion, not really.
There is an argument that morals are far more dangerous than ethics, i suppose. Morals are subjective to the belief and the believer and often as is the case with religions, open to debate and interpretation. but modern religion is centered so heavily on the punishment and the suffering and very specific rules and the exact wording of prayers, etc. I dont really believe in all that. if you take a religion like Christianity, and you take all the man out of it, because he cant be trusted, your left I think in my opinion, with the golden rule, which is good advice for just about anyone.
I guess the question really is: how do you prove or disprove something that true or not, was designed to be unprovable? Especially if it is true, the being in question is omniscient.
