Save me.

Lately I feel like ranting. Yesterday I projected my anger onto the hipsters. Today's rant is a shout out to those ignorant right wing Christian conservatives.

I'm reading "God is not Great: Religion Poisons Everything" by Christopher Hitchens, who by the way, is an excellent writer. The book is excellent in its defense of atheism and in its case of why religion basically sucks.

Here's what I don't get about these self-proclaimed religious folks who want us to believe Jesus was The Truth. They mostly blame the Jews for his death and regard Judas (who, just like Jesus, was Jewish) as the ultimate traitor. Apparently Jesus, is the son of God but also God. Now, wouldn't it be in God's plan to have his son/himself die for all of our sins. If that's so, then why so much anger towards the Jews. In order for Jesus to die for all of humanity's sins, he needed to be sacrificed. That's where Judas comes in. He gives The Truth up to the Romans to be crucified. If Jesus had lived out his mortal life into old age, what would have come of humanity's past, present, and future sins?

Another thing, where do Christians get off telling me Jesus died for my sins? Doesn't that mean I can openly sin now without repercussion, since Jesus absolved me?

Jesus died for my sins, which is why I can take a bong hit for Jesus and still be saved.
