"God is One," is not just a rejection of Polytheism, it's from a ontological argument of a Supreme Being as well.

If you mean, Jesus, by the son of God, God didn't just send His Son to get torture and that was not the only reason for the Son to exist. He had a life as well.

The suffering and death of Jesus is at the nexus for the effects of sin that people commit which caused His pain and suffereing, and His love & redemption of the human race and His love for God. Jesus follows the Will of God even to death, but is also resurrected, He does it to conquer sin and death. It is not all about physical pain. Human beings have two natures a body and a soul. So the part we don't see is just as important, the passion of Jesus was also about his interior life as well, the perfection of the four Cardinal virtues - Temperence, Prudence, Fortitude and Justice, along with perfection of the Theological virtues of Faith Hope and Love.

I lost you.

I was rebutting JKSmith, don't mind my posts.

And I know he had a life. If you read back, I grew up Catholic.

Man......I really have to start posting more again; I'd love to be involved in these types of topics (assuming they can be handled maturely). Though, I suppose I was never all that consistent to begin with.

What are you talking about? How can you forget when Richard Dawkins blew up that abortion clinic or Christopher Hitchens and his church protested all those soldier's funerals or when Sam Harris pumped hundreds of thousands into secular affairs? Atheists are so intrusive.

of course they're not, they're too busy cashing in on the new wave of pseudo-intellectual atheism to actually be pissed off. but if you're implying that atheists all just sit around and muse about how clever they are, i can guarantee that there have been millions of people with a "nothing is true, everything is permitted" attitude that have committed countless atrocities that haunt us today. the real difference is the religious commit atrocities for some half-thought out semi-coherent reason, whereas the areligious commit atrocities just for the hell of it.

What I enjoy about atheists compared to Christians is that I usually don't know who the devout Atheists are, the devout Christians make sure to fill in any gray area.

Christianity is very real in the sense that is a lasting established group of religions, it is undeniably outdated and exaggerated in it's textual history, but it's own evolution is actually one that has found, for the most part a nice, neat niche in most communities.
