I'm afraid that how it seems to me , also. So far, anyway. I'm ever hopeful that one day I'll be reading and, woah, I'll have something revealed to me that shows me we'll not have to suffer thru. But, no luck so far!

There are a number of requirements for a sacrifice to be valid or it is completely disqualified and will be an abomination to G-d. These requirements are as follows: 1. The sin offering must be brought forth by the person seeking atonement, and slaughtered either by the sinner or by the priest. 2. Death must be caused by a sharp, perfect blade cutting across the neck, resulting in blood loss and swift death. 3. The offering must be physically unblemished. 4. In the case of mammal offerings (bulls, lambs, etc.) the offering must be less than one year old. 5. In the case of mammal offerings, the mammal must have cloven hooves and chew cud. 6. The sacrifice must be brought at the Temple 7. The sacrifice must have its blood taken by a priest and sprinkled on the altar. 8. The sacrifice must be salted. Since Jesus did not fulfill even one of the eight precepts listed above, it's clear that his death could not be the atoning sacrifice Christians claim it is.

Humor me!Atheist/Agnostic,what would you do if the Rapture really happened and YOU were left behind?
1) What would be the first thing you’d do? Call mom?
2) What do you think your government would do? Martial law?
3) Would you read the dusty bible on the shelf?
4) Would you take the ‘mark of the beast’ to eat?

All men wrote the Bible and their stories are copies of others. I just love proving these religious fanatics wrong with all their religious material.
Maimonides writes (Laws of Kings 11:4) the criteria for identifying the messiah: "If a king will arise from the House of David, diligent in Torah study and the fulfillment of mitzvahs - of the written and Oral Law – like David his ancestor, and will compel all the Jews to go in its [the Torah's] path . . and builds the Holy Temple and gathers the Diaspora [to the land of Israel], this is certainly the Messiah." Jesus did not fulfill any of the basic duties of the Messiah. Additionally, the Bible is replete with prophecies about the Messianic Era (see for example Isaiah 11) which were never realized. To put it in simple words: If Jesus is the Messiah and this is what Redemption is all about -- who needs the Messiah? The Messiah I await will fulfill all the promises of world peace and global monotheism which are vividly described by the prophets.
