[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I have never understood this either.

There were countless other people who "died on the cross" and suffered just as much, if not more than Jesus. Crucifixion was a common form of death by the Romans - Jesus' death and suffering were never special. For the life of me, I don't understand why all the other people who died on the cross didn't also "suffer for my sins."

Religion is weird. All religions are weird. They're all myths to convey a story, and hold no actual truth. [/quote]

The difference is that Jesus, if you believe it, was no ordinary guy being crucified.  [b]What makes him special is that he was the Son of God, sent to earth by God to redeem us through his suffering on the cross. [/b]

Then, to prove his divinity, he rose from the dead after 3 days in the tomb and then later ascended into heaven to live eternally with his Father, and eventually his mother, a human, who came up to heaven even later.[/quote]

How? Why? Why was Jesus' "suffering" a redemption for humanity, any different than the suffering by the thousand of others who were crucified and suffered on the cross? His suffering wasn't special. He didn't suffer more than others.

These myths are no more bizarre than ancient Egyptian mythology. [/quote]
