What Major Intellectual Issue Most Keeps You From Accepting The Christian Narrative?

It wasn't. Even if you argue that it doesn't count as scapegoating, even though it's very similar, setting up something like that was cruel and wrong. No one should suffer for crimes they didn't commit. No one should be put in a position where they're going to suffer and die unless they beg someone else to spare them, and accept something gruesome and wrong as payment. That's a sadistic choice. It's something villains in media do, because it's so fundamentally wrong it shouldn't need explaining.

Ok so then by that logic, why does anything have to die on order for you to eat? Why is it their fault you're hungry? No creature should suffer and die for the sole reason of satiating your hunger...

Why is that not just as sadistic?

Also, lest we forget, he did not do it of his own choosing. When the day came for him to do it, he made it clear he didn't want to. "Let this cup pass from me", and all that. It happened anyway. If someone agrees to have sex with someone in the future, and then changes their mind when the agreed upon day comes, it's still rape if it happens anyway.

You forgot the whole "nevertheless, not my will but thine be done" and "no man take my life but I lay it down" part.

The former doesn't contradict what I said, since he's apparently obedient, even though he does not want to do it. The second is contradicted by the fact that he didn't want to be tortured to death, yet it happened anyway.

Eating to live is a fundamental part of life That's why they call it a cycle. Granted the individual being killed doesn't like it, but killing to eat isn't scapegoating. I'm not killing and eating it because I think it makes me a better person. I do it because that's the circle of life. It can't be considered a sin because nearly all life on the planet would die in a week or so if they decided unanimously to never kill anything ever again.
