Lo! streaming from the fatal tree
His all atoning blood,
Is this the Infinite?—Yes, ’tis he,
Prometheus, and a god!
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And veil his glories in,
When God, the great Prometheus, died
For man the creature’s sin.
Trust, ye saints,
your Lord restored,
Trust ye in your risen Lord;
For the pains which Tammuz endured
Our salvation have procured.

Or the feminist version can God have a thought so complex that even She can't understand it?

We always said no blood, no foul...so in that context, he seemed to of bled a lot.
Now Im a tad agnostic these days, I guess I need to have the "did a fellow named Jesus exist" conversation 1st.

"Did he really die for our sins?"
No more than those who died for humankinds sins before him, like...
Prometheus - Circa 800BC

Tammuz - Circa 400BC?

Quoted from here.
If Jesus was resurrected, did he actually die? It was just for 3 days. I mean, no harm no foul? Maybe I'm reaching here.

"The story of God, a being that allegedly has omnipotence. However, this omnipotent being has a mysterious plan that includes mulligans, foul ups, and do-overs. Sin damns you to Hell! But wait, there's more! Sin doesn't actually damn you to Hell! I made a convoluted loophole in my own omnipotent rules, because apparently, I make mistakes and then try to cover them up with stories about my "plan". It's ok though, I'm definitely omnipotent.
Also, I'm on the fence when it comes to being gay, since I made gay people... But I get a weird feeling every now and then, like if you have gay sex, I'm sending you to Hell anyway...
Honestly, maybe I'm just envious... Gay people are always so nice and happy..."
