I have some questions about Christianity. [I Have No Religion]
I was reading some woman's post on here about Christianity, making claims about sin causing death and statements about her deity being this way or that, and I got a bit confused. Just as a note before the questions, I'm not doing this to mock or demean anyone. I genuinely don't understand. Also I'm atheist, so don't know much about blind faith.
Anyway, first off that woman said that death is the result of sin; however, I was under the impression that Jesus died to absolve all sin, so wouldn't that mean that death is contraindicated? If not, why not?
Secondly, making factual claims like "god is love" or even that an omnipotent, omniscient, frankly incomprehensible in a Lovecraftian way deity would have a plan seems.... dubious. I know that the former is a quote by someone named Paul (McCartney obviously), but then you come into the problem of how Paul knows this. You could say "god told him" which is kinda pointless, or say that it's the bible and so god says so because it's the bible, and before you know it you're in a mythological ouroboros (sp?) of reasoning.
