AG, I find some of the points you bring up very interesting, and understand the thought process you're going through. You said:
"Now I question the basic assumption that human beings are separated and cutoff from their Creator. This belief explains a lot about why humans suffer, why there is evil in the world, and why we die. What I have learned, however, is that there are other equally plausible explanations for suffering, death and injustice. By questioning my basic assumptions about the nature of the human condition, I am forced to rethink the meaning of Jesus' life and death."
Now that you are rethinking the meaning of Jesus' death, why do you think he died? As you know, the question "Why Did Jesus Have To Die?" made the front cover of TIME magazine this week, so it's interesting you brought this up.
