According to the Christians and Bible, man was given a "choice" and freedom of will...and immediately screwed up and sinned. So, I should feel ashamed because Adam and Eve chose to eat an apple? Every single Christian rushes to say "all man sins" as if we are just dirty scumbags who aren't worthy. Where did I sign up for this? Why am I put in a position where I automatically "sin" without any possible alternative? Oh, and, just as an example, if we have "dirty thoughts" we are sinning. Never mind that nature has put in a natural attraction to seek out sex as a way to ensure procreation. It's not a sin. We were wired that way from the start, but we are supposed to feel guilty about these impulses that were ingrained in us by nature? Why should we just assume we are dirty sinners? And why did God have to give up his only son if he is all-powerful and all-living? Why couldn't he find some other way to "forgive our sins?"
Oh, and, too bad for all the rest of the world's religions, huh? You say only Jesus gets us into heaven, so every Muslim, Jew, etc. are just screwed no matter how good of a life they live? Funny thing is, other religions say the same thing about their Lord. I guess everyone else in the world that are not Christian are just screwed, right? So much so, that we can just bomb the crap out of them, kill them by the millions, but it doesn't really matter since they don't believe in Jesus any how. They just aren't as holy as us Christians so it's fine to invade and bomb their countries - they don't count. (I know you didn't say this, but millions of Christians actually believe this way, including GW Bush, and it just so happens to be completely polar opposite of the teachings of Christ, but don't bother to mind that.)
