One thing I never quite understood, even when I was practicing, was why God has to play by the rules of sin.
The only way he's able to save people is with blood sacrifice? I've also heard the talking point "God doesn't send people to hell, you send yourself to hell because you rejected salvation", which just means there's some weird karmic magic system that exists outside and possible above God.
And this wouldn't even be a big problem except the punishment is eternal hellfire. is infinite suffering really proportionate retribution for jerking it to anime titties?
Like..God is supposed to be all powerful. He could easily just say "yeah, lying is bad but eternal immolation is a pretty dumb answer. I'm just gonna forgive you cause I know life down there is bullshit."
