I find it oddly UNJUST that God would take on the sins of others. Sin should be born personally- there is no justice if you get to skate, is there?

I also find it odd that he would need to be crucified as a person in order to do that. IF he had the power to do it he could have done it in a different way. WHY choose crucifixion?- which far from being poetic is rather gruesome and ghastly. Why not just say- all your sins are forgiven if you believe in me. Which is what he is saying in the Bible with that unnecessary crucifixion thrown in. It's a bargain- it's a deal- you believe and give your faith and (if he exists) you get to be forgiven and go someplace with a good climate after you die.

But logically, Christ really isn't necessary at all- if God is omnipotent- he could have done his redemptive act any way he wanted. So why do it in that particularly nasty way? Far as I can see- no good reason.

To bad God isn't on the net. We could ask him to EXPLAIN himself.
