What has a new born baby done to be in a debt of such severity that it hangs in the balance of possible damnation?
Nothing. It doesn't.

Quote:
What is Jesus forgiving this baby of? What the hell did it do?
A baby doesn't need forgiveness. Babies and children are so wonderfully free from sin that Jesus, on several occasions, told his followers to be more like children.
Mark 10:14-16
14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16 And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

How valuable is forgiveness under threat? Under circumstances? Under forced contract?
I don't know what you're talking about. Threat of what?

Quote:
How evil is it to forgive mankind for something God caused but only if you worship his son?
Something God caused? Other than the existence of the universe I don't see what God caused that fits in here.

I don't know about you Christians, but when I see a beautiful healthy new baby.. I don't see a ticking contract.. I see hope. I see purity.
Well what do you know... You're doing what Jesus would do without even trying.




Annnnnnnnnnnd yet another thread in which we see that atheists' arguments hinge on their own warped and often downright incorrect understanding of religion(s).
