So, it doesn't end loneliness or enslavement or irrelevance or misunderstanding? Just the fear of them?
Heck, dope'll do that, and a lot cheaper!
You know when you're healthy, then you get sick, then (hopefully) you get healthy again? You say you "got better."
Kinda like that. Jesus was alive, then he was dead, then he was alive again. Assuming "alive" is better than "dead," he got better.
Leastways that's what your Really Old Book tells us.
So, Jesus was ill, died and resurrected? That’s the redemptive narrative in the Bible?
None of it makes any sense to me. Why did Gawd demand a death to "save" everybody? Way I understand it, Gawd made the rules, and Gawd can change the rules. So if Gawd wants folk to be saved, why don't he just say "OK, everybody's saved?"
What do you make of the animal sacrificial system instituted by God among ancient Hebrews?
Me? I think they created a Gawd in their own image.
I prefer the custom of potlatching. You demonstrate your power and value by giving away stuff. Useful stuff. To folks who can use it.
