His Only Begotten Son
I apologize to the faithful for my affront to the insanity of their religious beliefs, but I can't really get all excited about God supposedly sacrificing his only begotten son on our behalf. Why not? God can have as many sons as he wishes. He's omnipotent. He could have saved the first one if he had wanted to and he could create as many more as his heart desires. Forgive me if I lack the empathy towards God that such a show of 'devotion' supposedly inspires. God can't really consider himself THAT lonely since we are all regarded as his children.
Is there a qualified Christian apologist who has rationalized an 'answer' to that conundrum?
Parents of the soldiers killed in Iraq don't have the requisite omnipotent powers to replace their missing loved ones. Those are the people I really grieve for.
