Rather than focus on some of the serpentine refutations for the existence of God with Jesus as His son, take a look at these common, simpler problems that your beliefs lead to.
My point is not to try and prove that God doesn't exist. My point is to ask you to use your personal common sense and analyze these confusing, self-conflicting assertions. Then, to ask yourself not if they disprove God, but whether they make you want to look further at other models that explain existence?

Lot's of comments recently all stacking up. I'm taking a moment here late at night to address all that I can. Right now I'm completely buried at work and am moving to a new house at the same time. For those interested, this is one project I'm working on that's pretty exciting.

Are you really so worried about the afterlife that you spend most of your energy counseling others to worry along side you? As you've commented in this blog, you accept that you don't need to be a Christian to be a good person or to be happy, to have morals, to live right. Why then do you care about what you can't possibly know with any certainly, the life after death? Are you really, truly, actually worried that there are entities called souls that your loving God will abandon to an eternity of damnation because they weren't able to find a path through His dark maze of intellectual puzzles during their mortal lives?
