I previously asked a question about the barbaric nature of the Christian concept of "the blood of Christ" The answers I received conveyed the message that Christ died for our sins. So, in essence, I am hearing that he was a human sacrifice. one answer even compared him to a sacrificial lamb. I thought human sacrifice was barbaric and pagan, yet I am reading that it is the basis for the Christian religion. How can that be?

Don't you think it's a little barbaric and very cruel? I remember seeing a beautifully executed hand painted bust of Christ with thorns sticking into his scalp and blood pouring down his face. Even as a Catholic, I was horrified. I felt the intention of the artist was to tell Christ, "Bleed, you bastard!". And since this statue was being sold in a religious store, I understood that this bloody sentiment was universal among those who believe Christ died for our sins. Again, isn't this cruel and barbaric to worship a bloody dying man?

My friend's dad is, quite literally, an evil person. He has no conscience to speak of and takes drugs and goes on drinking binges frequently. My friend (a very mature 15) has been prevented from taking part in extracurricular activities, getting a normal job, going into town (they live in a small town trailer park outside of suburbia), and visiting friends. His life is completely worthless and he has contributed nothing to this earth except a kind and sad daughter, probably the only worthwhile thing he ever did. He acts high and mighty when I come to visit because the only thing he has control over is his daughter, and he flaunts it arrogantly. He belittles her and stares at her hatefully for no reason, and once he went into a rage and destroyed every personal possession she had. Memorabilia, old photos, art and personal wrings and diaries, clothes. She went to Foster care but felt it was actually worse than living with her dad. I wish he would up and die. How do I help her?

A missionary may tell an aborigini that a shooting star is not God's cigar butt and then tell him that Moses parted the Red Sea. Can any explain their biblical reasoning in this?
