The only answer needed to Christianity, to whether you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, is hell yes! I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
You see, God created this whole universe, this whole experience, just to send you, each and every beautiful, eternal soul, into it for a short, ~60 year sojourn on this green Earth with a case of absolute amnesia, and severely limited perspective of yourself and the whole deal for the sole purpose of judging you, seeing if you choose to “believe” in “God” and choose to follow a faithful life as spelled out in the Bible (likely the historical culture of the people you were conveniently born amongst, but don’t concern yourself with that). And God gave you free will to make this choice in complete ignorance, based only on the word of people who came before you.
But that’s not the best part! Then, God revises the whole plan midstream, and decides to come down to Earth as a human, as a man, as Jesus, to be crucified and die for your sins. “Jesus” (aka God) dies to karmically absorb all your sins. 2000 years or so before you were born, before you have any chance to exercise your free will, God has already absorbed all your sins.
Before you have any chance to make any choices, to do any sinning, before you’re even a twinkle in anyone’s eye, you’re already forgiven for all your sins. You’re already provided the vehicle to be let off the hook for all your transgressions. Just accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and it’s all right!
I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I can be as abrasive (oh, but that’s right — don’t say any “naughty” words. Das ist echt verboten). Let’s start over. I mean, I can be as rapacious, as plundering, as abusive, as biased, and hateful, and murderous as I want to be, because Jesus forgave it all. 2000 years before I even had the opportunity to make any of those decisions … all forgiven! Oops, I messed up again. All forgiven. Oops, raped another girl. Forgiven. Oops lopped that guy’s dick off because I was angry at him. Forgiven. Oops, enslaved yet another set of inferiors to put ’em to God’s good work making my lazy, covetous ass bright, shiny goods. Forgiven. Oops, murdered another heathen, and Jew, and Muslim, and brown person. Forgiven. Oops, killed that family’s mother and son while driving drunk. Fore-given! Have another one!
I get it. I see what you did there, big fella. Thank you, Jesus, for coming down to be my Lord and Savior! Only the truly faithful who really, really believe in Jesus Christ get it. If you’re not living life like it’s a party in 1999, then you don’t really believe in Jesus.
This explains a lot! It explains why so much of western European culture is so shitty, and exploitative, and continually angling to get everything they can out of this world. They don’t have to care! No effort or compassion or do-gooderliness required on your part. Jesus forgives it all! Heaven for everyone! The whole world is created to be one big cess pool to test you for judgment … And you only need to know the one core trick. Suck it all up! Use it all up! Do whatever you want. Because it doesn’t matter. Jesus forgave it all already — if you truly believe!
Hallelujah!
