WHAT WAS THE POINT?

Alan Scholes, a former agnostic, testifies from his experience:

"I had often heard my religious friends say, 'Jesus died for our sins' or 'Jesus died to save the world.' I could see how the good example of Jesus’ actions might possibly influence some men and women to live better lives, but it was inconceivable to me that anything done by one man nearly 2,000 years ago could have a direct effect on how we live in the 20th century. And I certainly couldn’t see how Jesus’ death no matter how noble or unselfish, could possibly make up for all the evil in the world."
