One more thing...why did Jesus have to die in order to convince God to forgive our sins? (not all of us, just those who believe in the right story)Why did God need a blood sacrifice?

THINK!! Any kind of faith that doesn't allow you to question it is (this might sound familiar), like a foundation built on sand. When it rains the house will crumble. Look I'm using Christian theology to support atheism. If god is allpowerful, why does he care if you praise him. sounds pretty insecure to me.

The Scripture says, "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Evidence affirms that the sinless Jesus bled and died on a cross. Most importantly, the Bible explains why Jesus' death and resurrection provide the only entrance to heaven. Continued...

What makes your faith true as opposed to the countless others?

How you worship a being who is ready to force eternal suffering on people whose sin is often to have been born in a time and place where they have never heard of it?

How insecure is your deity that it requires continuous servitude and blind love; not jusk asking for it but going as far make threats?

I didn't indoctrinate my children as youngsters. Instead I waited until they were older, had seen some of the world, and could judge for themselves. I said "this is what people believe who are religious: that God created the earth, the Bible is his word, there's an afterlife, etc. etc. (you guys know all this). After I was finished I asked what do you think?

All three of them thought it was ridiculous. It took all of 2 seconds for them to dismiss it as nonsense.

Religion perpetuates itself because the cult gets to children early, threatens them, implores them not to question things, and weaves it's bullshit into their daily lives until they become converts. I know, because I went to Catholic school and got a healthy dose of it. But at age 10 I asked myself "what if none of this is true?" Guess what? Under objective scrutiny it all falls away pretty quickly. It makes no more sense than vampires, werewolves, spagetti monsters, etc.

Ah, the old "I better believe, just in case" argument that shows how important fear is in keeping you in line. The best way to keep weak-minded people in a cult is to threaten them with horror and death if they dare leave. It's a favorite tactic of wife abusers, for instance. If your religion was so splendid, you wouldn't need to threaten members to keep them in line.

Who needs salvation? Salvation from a natural process that every human born eventually faces? I look at my 80-ish years (hopefully) on this planet as an opportunity that I don't intend to waste. You'd rather devote your life to the false promise that a MAN-MADE church gives you, simply because they want to up their numbers and power. All cults do it, yours included.
