Yes! I saw a sign at a Christian bookshop this weekend saying “Scripture says Jesus died for our sins”. And I just thought, what does that even mean? Does it mean that we should campaign against the death penalty – “don’t kill this man for this crime, Jesus has already died for his sins”? Or is there some other nuance of the sins = death formula that I’m missing? Do we sin because Jesus died? Is that it? And, as ever, isn’t any meaning and symbolism we attribute to his death completely negated by the fact that he came back to life and isn’t even dead?!
Thank you very much! Why didn’t people give me awards in school? It might just have stopped me from becoming the attention seeking narcissist I’ve become in adulthood.
Bah dump tiss! That’s a great point, and one that I debated in my Christian education. “So, Jesus died for all the sins that will ever happen?” “Yes. That’s right.”
Ha Ha!!! Hilarious. I am a Jehovah’s Witness & I thank you as I can now think up a good answer for this point in advance in case someone raises this question. I would’ve otherwise been caught off guard by such a rsponse

Amazing! Some very good points Ed. If only I’d thought of the I could have stretched this comic out for a good while longer!
Herk herk herk

Hehe, glad to hear my comics can have a practical application sometimes too!
