From WorldNetDaily: Pastor: Idea Christ died for sins ‘insane’

Calls Easter message ‘repulsive’ —“ makes ‘God sound like a psychopath’

Church of England traditionalists, wearied by the battles over homosexuality in the church and the clergy, are about to take it on their spiritual chins once again when a leading “gay” cleric will tell listeners to BBC Radio 4 that Christianity’s traditional teaching on Christ’s crucifixion for the sins of mankind is “repulsive,” “insane” and makes “God sound like a psychopath…”

What’s left to say to the folks who own a Church’s message to the extent such theological amateurs do. It’s not even the ‘gay’ thing. It’s the whole idea that any god would forfeit their lofty throne to become human, with all the requisite suffering inherent in humanity, and why?

And once a god commits to such an undertaking, wouldn’t he wish to free those whose suffering he shares in? Would he not only wish to free them, but also wish to give them hope? And, should he suffer an ignominious death, wouldn’t he wish it (being a god and all) to be meritorious.

Thankfully such a god exists, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I guess some folks, trained in seminary and all, just can’t connect those dots. Of course, you need faith. Otherwise, you fashion for yourself a god who is a psychopath (or you’re a gnostic).
