Why must Jesus die for us?
Isn't suffering everyday for ourselves enough?
I don't want to be guilty for the suffering of the innocent, I don't want to be responsible for the death of Jesus, and everyday when I'm reminded of this by religion, I feel as if he has died yet again.
Why do we celebrate the death of our most beloved teacher, and leader?
Why do we celebrate the death of a man that taught us to love our neighbors, and turn the other cheek?
Why does Jesus need to be a sacrifice on the altar of religion, hasn't he suffered enough?
