The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well.
So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

Nothing, even if a Christian god did exist.

I get that but Jesus is God come in the flesh. He is basically an example on how you should live your life. It's like using yourself as a scape-goat. Also that doesn't really concern Christians and doesn't affect that specific way of life

[quote]It's like using yourself as a scape-goat.[/quote]That's not acceptable either. Being willing to absolve someone else of their failings isn't acceptable - it's cheating and not allowing someone to take responsibility for their own actions. Would it be acceptable for someone else to go to prison for the crimes of another? For someone else to take the blame? I really can't see a moral way of justifying that position. [quote]Also that doesn't really concern Christians and doesn't affect that specific way of life.[/quote]I don't see how it couldn't be appreciated in an abstract way to be applied in a given situation in the future, such as the example I gave above regarding prison. Nevertheless, the fact that Christians treat Jesus as a scapegoat is more than enough for it to be valid and used as an example of something unacceptable.
