Why did Jesus Christ sacrifice his self for you?

So, religion, for a very very long time now, is mostly responsible for the worlds problems because it doesn't care for opposing beliefs, but not quite entirely, as some do good with it here and there and will continue to.

Yet, science, for a while, has done a fair amount of good, but doesn't care at all what happens with it's findings, even if it eventually, even if accidentally, and non religiously, leads to the end of the human race.

This is why religion is dumb and should be discarded, while science is the one and only logical path forward?

Religion is partly responsible for the worlds problems, it cannot be blamed for everything as not everything is caused by religious contention.

Science is just the method used to explain the natural world, it doesn't care if it offends you, it doesn't care if it comes into conflict with your religious indoctrination... And never in human history has science ever been used as the sole excuse to defend your country or go to war with another country... Same cannot be said for religion.

Science has proven to give us what we can regard as the truth... And on a damn regular basis. - Religion has not... And religion has had thousands of years to do so.

Simple fact is, Science has credibility... Where-as your religion is nothing but a fairy-tale set in a fictional universe so people can feel good about themselves... In short it's a joke and an insult to any free-thinking individual.

Besides... Everyone is born Atheist, it's only later do they get indoctrinated into various religions and cults, Atheism is the default, natural position.

for what problems exactly is 'religion' responsible? and for which war was 'religion' the sole excuse for war? 'religion' has never been the sole excuse, there is no such thing, the excuse was always fear, control, power and money!! religion was used to impose fanaticism on believers

also 'religion' is too general, which religion? there are huge differences between Christianity and Islam, 'do not murder' is a basic commandment in Christian scripts, but Islam permits the murder of non-believers that refuse to believe in Islam

Science is a discovery and goes just as far as the discoverer's capability, it will reveal nothing that goes beyond the human, therefore any comparison with religion is irrelevant, I major in science and being a Christian, there is no scientific discovery that disproves Christianity thus far

some are born atheist, some have the inner feel that there is something bigger out there, therefore the countless ancient gods invented in the past, originating form the luck of scientific knowledge yes but also the inner feel there is something bigger than human

'Science has credibility... Where-as your religion is nothing' hell yeah, the classic modern scientific showcase obsession against religion... the same science that's causing the climatic change that could even lead to extinction, the same science that created cancer, nuclear and atomic bombs that can kill millions with the press of a button, the mass murder weapons used in World Wars that had nothing to do with religion but killed so much more than science can save

lastly, we only have signs like Jesus existence and teachings - there are even miracle testimonies by modern monks, if there was a clear cut proof everyone would believe regardless of his true intentions, there can be no proof, think of it as trying to explain what each colour looks like to a born-blind person, he has never seen colour and never will, he cannot even imagine what red looks like no matter how hard you can try to explain it, cause it is outside of his reality, just like god is outside our reality, Christianity accepts just that, that we can never understand god apart from a few signs revealed to us

people stick too much on the supernatural and afterlife but it's not even worth thinking too much about - except the relief/hope that good-loved people are in a better place - I rather stick to how Christianity applies in real life and is proved to be great for the happiness and well being of Christian believers, as it should
