redredred So your god created humanity and put a temptation in front of them he knew they would go for. As a result of their failure, all humans are born with a sin. To make up for this sin he sends himself as his own son to be a sacrifice to himself to save humanity from the damnation he himself would impose on them.
A bit circular, no?
Haven't we done this? Or is it just that I've done it countless times with others. It's like there's a string on the back of a doll you pull and you get that poorly recorded audio. There's maybe 5 or 6 prerecorded messages that loop and all the "atheist" dolls have the same message. I'm sure you feel that way about theists, so we're just wasting our time and if it weren't for our egos we would have enough sense to find something better to do.
Here's where you are wrong. 1. It wasn't a temptation, it was a warning. 2. God didn't know how it would go, he knew it could go two distinctly different ways. 3. It isn't a result of their failure it is the continuing practical effect of an historical event. 3. Jehovah and Jesus aren't the same. Jehovah created Jesus, he existed in spirit form in heaven prior to coming here in physical form. Spirit simply means unseen; wind, breath, compelled mental inclination and spirit beings, heaven means high, above. The father and the son are not the same beings. 4. To accept the sacrifice is an individual choice. Humanity in a general sense will be preserved, but those rejecting the proposal, either by choice or failure to demonstrate compatibility for the new system. 5. If, by damnation you mean hell, that isn't a Bible teaching. It was adopted by the apostate church. The result of rejecting Jehovah's rightful sovereignty is eternal destruction. It is, in fact, exactly what you probably think happens to everyone upon death anyway. Just death.
