So basically, you got to use the some not all or the stereotype police yell at you, but the deal if your a Christian is pretty much you think you get separated from God if there is sin, so they have to believe that this other guy died so that God will then find them acceptable. The story of adam and eve, they took from the tree of knowledge, and then God had to come down and kill some animal so they could hide their sin in animal skin. But now its all about hideing in the blood of this guy who died. And the guy is supposed to be God, and the perfect sacrafice.
So its like, God wont be with me after I die unless I believe God died for me.
Is this about your summation of it also? its like, the guy died so its ok god will love me again

You see..You are finally getting it right, I don't think that you have got it in your heart yet, probably still only head knowledge so far. When this really reaches the heart then you will know.
It may sound confusing and odd to you but you will understand everything later on..

With Adam and Eve, the Bible does not mention blood. Basically, the punishment for sin is death. In the Old Testament times there were animal sacrifices to pay for the wrongs. Now, because Jesus died, as a sinLESS being, He paid for the sins of anyone who wants to be forgiven.
And as you said, yes, you cannot be in heaven "unless I believe God died for me."

No that is not a good summary of classic Christianity. It is a good summary of Protestantism though.
If you want to learn what classic Christianity taught at a level up to your high intellectual standards I am going to recommend to you Jaroslav Pelikan's works (graduate level college) starting with
The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine, Volume 1 : (100-600 AD)

Hey remember "free will". If you don't want to believe it, don't.....take your chances. Maybe give us a shout when you are on your death bed and perhaps you may think a little differently!!
I have to presume by how you wrote this and some of your other posts that you don't believe.

I suggest you read the catechism of a Christian religion to get a better idea of their beliefs.

Maybe you should get a personal editor to word your writing so that it makes sense!

Your fundamentals are correct but it's more serious than you play it to be.
