Must be something in the water during bronze age.
He created his Son who is him, sent him to Earth to die on the cross so that he can forgive sins of ants. He had to die himself to forgive sins of some schmucks on 3rd rock from the Sun. Hey, God, you could have just forgave the sins. Why bother with all the theatrical dying on the cross.
You created the fucking universe, you could not forgive the sins of some insignificant bronze age schmucks?

Can't forgive the sins of gods that won't accept forgiveness.
I got to say I rather agree with af_newbie. Why can't God forgive the people he created for being dumb. He's still responsible for it isn't he?
What is so hard to understand? Look at this example.
A guy borrows $10,000 from the bank. Later he goes to the bank and tells them he can't repay. The bank forgives the debt entirely, and writes it off their records. Still later, the guy comes in with a payment on the loan. The debt has been forgiven entirely, what is the bank supposed to do? Reinstate the loan somehow?
God forgives the debt through Jesus entirely. But the people won't accept it. They don't even want to understand that God exists when they are shown scientific proof. What is God supposed to do? Use force to make the people believe in Him? Use force to make them stop paying on a debt that is too big for them to pay off anyway?
So, you jokers have a little time in this life where forgiveness has sort of been forced on you. How do you know? You are alive, aren't you? But your life and forgiveness in it exist so that God can find out if you want to accept it. If you don't want to accept, well, ultimately just go out and die. What else is there?
