A certain friend that happens to be a Christian once stated in a video that when he was "worth nothing", God took him showing mercy and grace by sending his son, Jesus, to die for him.
Well, while not trying to be disrespectful, just the same, I felt compelled to respond to him in the following manner and ask a few questions:
God took you when you were “worth nothing,” you say? Now think about the profundity of that statement. In essence you are saying that God is in the business of creating someone that is worth nothing. So, does your origin begin with God, or was there something or someone else that caused your existence? For what purpose would any God create someone that is “worth nothing” at all? Does he get some kind of satisfaction from producing a worthless individual just to later supposedly send his son to die to make that same individual to be worth something now???
Another thing too, if you’re nothing less than human by virtue of your parents also being human, then wouldn’t the same logic follow that you are divine by virtue of originating from a divine source??? If then you originated from a divine source, then how could you ever have been “worth nothing” as you have stated?
To believe that you were ever “worth nothing” is surely a manifestation of the fear called self-hate. Who taught you this? How was this idea programmed into your consciousness? If humanity comes from a divine source to begin with, then humanity can be nothing less than divine in essence and in fact! To think or believe that you were worthless to begin with, makes your God into a capricious, illogical socio-path that does nothing for any good reason, but rather what he does is for reasons of sadistic pleasure (to send you to an eternal torment in hell) and self inflating notions of personal aggrandizement (to be praised and worshipped). Is that the God you serve?
Well, I know of a far, far BETTER GOD than that with whom there is NO COMPARISON!
A footnote here is to stop and think: Do any loving parents conceive together any child that they feel is worthless from birth despite the failings of that child? Do any loving parents feel that their children must praise and worship them in order to be the recipient of their loving kindness and care? Would any loving parent kill any one of their children because some of the others did something wrong? Since parents hold the authority over their children, don't loving parents simply forgive the misdeeds of their children without the necessity of sacrificing the life of another?
If any loving parent felt it necessary to discipline any one of their children by for instance spanking them, then would they make that an eternal punishment and never stop spanking that child for his or her misdeed? Think about it. Isn't that what some religion teaches?
So, where did the idea of that kind of "God" come from?
