first off i am an atheist for sure so some of my understanding of religions concepts may be a bit off but here go's. according to the christian religion god is all forgiveing and compassionate. He can forgive anything we do. Why is it then that he had to send Jesus, his only son, to earth only to have him killed in order to pay for our sins? the way i see it he could have just forgiven us without the whole killing his son thing. also why does us killing his only son balance the scale and allow our sins to be forgiven? i would have thought it would have been another strike in the negative column for us
