Hardly. Go count your many sins and remember, the soul that sinneth shall surely die.
Is there something confusing to you that you forfeit your life because of your sin?
You and yours are all gonna die man. If you make it to seventy then the Lord gave you a full life, be grateful. If you make it to eighty you had some strength left, praise God some more.

Sin is a Christian concept, not a Buddhist one. The cause of death is birth. Jesus was born, and He died. Everyone that is born, dies.
I will forfeit my life because I was born. I was born because of my unwise actions in previous lives. Buddhism is not Christianity, so many of your assumptions do not apply. I am working from a different set of scriptures.
And you are going to die again and again and again and again... unless you can find the way to avoid being reborn. Karma will get you every time if you can't.

Then you'll just get run over in your inability to acknowledge your sin.
Dude, you can't start complaining about God, how unfair it all is, and then try to weasel out of sin. It's juvenile. I'm being nice about it.
Take all of God and deal with it, or none at all. No one is talking about your Buddha.

I do not acknowledge anybody's sin. All I acknowledge are their wise actions and their unwise actions.
I do not have to "weasel out" of something that does not exist. Your beliefs are not mine.
Welcome to Zen Buddhism. "What is the sound of no one talking about the Buddha?"
Without an objective standard - which make buddhism false as it fails the test of logical consistency.

Well there is nothing about the fat man that holds anyone's interest here, and you'll forever be background noise on a Christian board.I do not acknowledge anybody's sin. All I acknowledge are their wise actions and their unwise actions.

Welcome to Zen Buddhism. "What is the sound of no one talking about the Buddha?"
Can you prove that from Scripture?
Christianity doesn't posit that. Your "logic and reasoning," so-called, driven by your emotions have posited that. You are an emotionally driven fellow. I hear it in your writing. I'm still waiting to see any real logic in your writing.
Do you think God, taking flesh upon Himself, to partake in the experience of the weakness, frailty and infirmities of human flesh, and who came into the world for the purpose of giving His life for yours, knowing full-well at that time that you would reject Him, call Him names, mock Him, disrespect Him, deny Him is compatible with love?

Sin is an unwise action among other things. What happened? When you were a camel did you take a dump on a sultan?
I'm sure He's very worried about your pronouncement.
God isn't anyone's friend. He is everyone's creator. He is also very dangerous.
It could be, but not necessarily, but it could have been to encourage more people to worship him. To be frank, that makes more sense than Jesus giving his life for mine. What does that actually mean? People die just as much after Jesus was crucified as they did before. There was no effect on physical death. God could defeat Satan, forgive sins, etc. without Jesus dying. So why did Jesus have to die?
If God is all-powerful, why did he need Jesus' death to do something? The nly purpose I can see that actually makes sense is that it was a spectacle designed to draw attention to Jesus' message, which was to love God with all your heart, mind and soul.

Romans 5:8 "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
Not that. That He forfeits the claim to being loving.
