There was a guy that saw you on the street. The guy that saw you on the street also saw a guy pointing a gun at you. This guy quickly jumped infront of you to save your life and sacrificed his.
Wouldn't you be grateful and accept his sacrifice so that you could live?
If the answer is yes then you should be happy because someone already did this for you!

Obviously you don't understand atheism. Thanks for the misplaced thought, but it didn't hit the mark.

1. I didn't see the guy.
2. The guy didn't take a bullet; it was capital punishment.
3. Someone decided to claim it was a sacrifice, but there's no evidence.
4. Some idiot decided to post a false analogy, and convince people the fallacy had merit.

Yes I would be grateful. But if that person was the 'son of god' I would be more grateful if he stayed and lived on earth with humanity instead of him going away. There is no evidence that Jesus was the son of God. Or even that he was a real person. Also the bible is full on nonsense. Just read it.

Guess what? I didn't ask for his sacrifice. If it was my time to die, that's it. But if he thought it was a noble thing to do, I guess that's his problem. I would think trying to keep the other idiot from shooting the gun in the first place (throw a rock or something) would serve a better purpose. Sorry, but your analogy falls flat. Nice try, though.

Yes, I would be extremely grateful to this real, flesh and blood man that saved my life.
But you must prove that Jesus was a historical figure, much less that he did anything on behalf of human beings born thousands of years after his supposed death. P.S. Using the bible is considered circular logic.
Do you have evidence?

In this silly metaphor, is the guy pointing a gun at me God? Because according to the Christian myth, Jesus, as god incarnate, sacrificed himself so God the father could forgive me. What a stupid myth. If there is a God and he wants to forgive people, why doesn't he just do it instead creating this elaborate, masochistic scheme?

I would have been happier if the dude number two had a gun or something and had just shot dude number 1, because after dude number one shot dude number two he kept pulling the trigger. (a huge clip of ammunition on an automatic rifle)
Lucky for me he was a lousy shot and could not hit what he was aiming at. Unlucky for the rest of the crowd standing behind me though.
I love hypothetical scenarios!

Not if that man who sacrificed himself paid the gunman to shoot me. Then id be pissed that he endangered my life like that just to get some grandeur....Know where im headed with this? God must have known about original sin before creating us, so in effect hes the one who damned us. And why has he got to sacrifice himself TO himself? I thought he was all powerful?

except using your analogy what really happened was that the guy was going to shoot me because of something my great great great great grandfather did and then the guy with the gun jumped in front of me and was then shot himself. But didn't actually die and went on to have a really nice life in a really nice place.
look you can't prove your jesus existed, you can't prove your god exists. You can plead all you like but until you can your words just sound desperate

Uh... no, someone didn't already do that for me. A fable about some guy dieing and supposedly somehow that's going to make his magic god daddy happy and spare all other people is not the same as a real life event, sorry.

I'd be slightly grateful but a little curious as to why he did. But, if his ghost came back and started listing off rules I had to follow to receive even more 'grace', then I'd be POed since I really never was given a choice!
