Letter: Christians are often mocking God

TO THE EDITOR:

The Christian concept of God is a mockery of God. Not to be offensive, but ...

Jesus came to show us that even by death we can’t be separated from the Father.

So what did Jesus save us from? Why didn’t God just make perfect human beings if that’s what God wanted? Christians say God did but then forbid mankind from eating from the tree of knowledge.

So this Christian God has an ego. So did Jesus save us from a imperfect Father that makes mistakes and then demands of us to be perfect or face damnation? Or from a God with an ego? But if God is perfect and we’re born in the image and likeness of God.

Then we’re perfect too. Then the purpose of sin must be for us to know what and who we are, and are not. Christians don’t know who they are as sinners. Christians can’t even love themselves. Love thy neighbor as thy self. It all starts with new thoughts about it. Can Christians express love to gay people as they show love of self?
