@gwfoto@newsie.social @Threadbane And why would an omnipotent god need to present people with any rules when it can just guide people to do its bidding? (Thoroughly enjoying this conversation, y’all.)
@Threadbane @gwfoto@newsie.social Yes, she does.

A poster to the old USENET alt.atheism, Tony Lawrence, had this .sig:
Jesus was mildly inconvenienced for your sins.
I think it was a line he came up with when we were discussing how an immortal being like Jesus could temporarily die...or at least pretend to temporarily die.
@Threadbane @gwfoto@newsie.social Reminds me of the line from Bernstein’s Mass: you had a choice when to live, when to die and then, become a god again.

God works in mysterious ways, dontcha know or dontchoo?
