Got it - you're avoiding the blood issue.  Do a little reading and you'll probably be be able to rationalize it - to yourself at least.

PS many humans don't suffer the way Christ supposedly did,  and some suffer much worse - but they're not the son of god so they just die -- [b]and if they're not Christian, they just go to hell - according to Christans'.[/b]

Plus he didn't just share our suffering --he died for our sins and we're supposed to be ever grateful.[/quote]

I did address the blood issue - I pointed out that it was asphyxiation. And per your second post, the Last Supper was a Passover and it was symbolic/metaphorical and didn't involve real blood, obviously. I tried to address your questions respectfully and you came back with silly snark ("you'll be able to rationalize it to yourself" and "we're supposeed to be eternally grateful" and "all Christians believe all non-believers go to Hell") which indicates you're not serious about talking. I don't waste my time like that, good bye. [/quote]

really -- that's snark? -- have you read the things you've called me and other atheists here?  Anyone can read through it and see it.  You might think what I say next is snark, but I see it as an observation -- instead of addressing the obvious importance of blood in the Christian tradition, you use ad hominem attacks and sign off as a way to avoid addressing the issue directly.  I know all Christians are not like this.  I imagine some reading through this are embarrassed for you, but remain silent, to avoid giving atheists any credence.

PS -- I did not say "all Christians believe all non-believers go to Hell" -- you said that.

I know many Christians who are comforted by their faith, who  simply avoid or ignore conversation that is not in keeping with their beliefs.  Maybe you'll be one of them someday. [/quote]

I'm stumped by your post. I've bolded the part above where you said Christians think "all non-believers to to hell," just so you can't keep denying you said that.

I've been respectful and perhaps you're confusing me with other posters, but that's no excuse for what's clearly snark on your part.  Anybody who is wondering about this can read your very first sentence, above, for some oozing snark.

Also, you may not like my answers about the blood issue, but you're wrong to keep claiming I never answered them.

Finally, please point out what you say are my "ad hominem attacks." I've reviewed my own posts and I don't see them.[/quote]
