HE is Risen 
Atheism's Attack on Christianity Destroying American Liberty[^]
The ‘freedom loving’ Atheist (if there is such a thing) may need to declare a truce with Christians and start focusing on the Marxist-Communist takeover of this country. Despite (the poster-boy for religious right demonization) former President George W. Bush’s perceived offenses, it’s the secular-commies in charge who are the true threat to American freedom and prosperity.

He is as real as Pinnochio but the story isn't as entertaining.

Jesus Christ is demonstrably real, and came to die as a man so that those in bondage to sin could once again achieve eternal life and fellowship with the Father. There is ONE WAY to the Father, and that is through the sacrifice of his Son Jesus Christ.
Can you imagine sending your child to suffer on behalf of someone who personally wronged you, so that they might have mercy and escape punishment? Can you imagine the love required? No. And THAT is the story of the Cross, that through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we received Mercy (an opportunity to avoid the eternity of torment in hell that we have brought upon ourselves), and GRACE (an opportunity to return into fellowship with God and live eternally in heaven), and that through his presence on Earth as the only Sinless man, and choosing to die the sinner's death, he might conquer death, and provide a way out. see, that is the true story of the Cross. It is not that we are all good people, but that we are all sinners who are justifbly damned through original sin and God didn't have to do anything. BUT HE was so moved by his Love, that he went infinitely above and beyond, sent his own Son to suffer, and offered us a way into eternal fellowship with HIM.

Lord Voldemort had risen again.

He doesn't appear to have posted since 2011 but his rep graph is still moving, so presumably he still logs in: CaptainSeeSharp - Professional Profile - CodeProject[^]
Probably an all time low total rep though!

I celebrate with you this version of the timeless myth of human sacrifice for humanity's "greater good" in the struggle between good and evil.
What profound paradox that this (patriarchal, sky-god) type of myth, and the institutional structures built around it, are responsible for more bloodshed, more human suffering, more loss of human potential, than the other myths that so-called Homo Sapiens uses to avoid facing the fact that we are a violent, territorial, destructive (to self, and to all other species, and biota) aberration of evolution (if you are an anthropomorph ... quite possible if this myth is salient for you ... then you can substitute "fulfillment" for "aberration").
But, wait: I said "paradox;" where's the "other side" to complete the dysjunctive conjugation ?
Here: this myth, like others, can engender the best within humanity; within its context remarkable individuals can flourish who become exemplars of service, cosmic insight, and selfless behavior. For many people, this myth, and others, are as necessary for survival ... in a world where basic existence is threatened daily ... as food and water: sanity, and the ability to cope, depend on it.
So, I'm not being sarcastic when I say that I "celebrate" with you. And, I write this in probably dim awareness that the myths of "no myth," science, rationality, marxism, nihilism, are as real as any myth, albeit pursuing one of those myths leads to a different labyrinth of paradoxes.
Oh: "science;" how about quantum mechanics ? There's a set of paradoxes that virtually beg to be packaged into a religion by some prophet, or other. Perhaps we are all, right now, being tickled by a half-dead-half-alive cat's whisker in its temple, while chanting "meow" beneath statues of Saint Schrodinger ?
The impossible quest by individuals to abandon all myth has interesting consequences that, I believe, are also paradoxical.

I'm fine with Christianity, except for the bit where they say that the devil and demons are evil.
They're the guys who punish people for doing evil -- I can get behind that.
The idea of a god and angels that make people suffer for being good is what I won't align with.
To follow the fable:
- God makes good people suffer.
- Satan disagrees with that, and they go to war.
- God wins.
- God writes the history, making himself out to be the good guy.
Talk about the bleedin' obvious.

I'm not familiar with this version, but I really like the way it thickens the plot William Blake would be quite "at home" with this version ... ref. "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" circa 1790CE :
"Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence. From these contraries spring what the religious call Good & Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy."
cheers, Bill
