Is a religion based on human sacrifice moral and ethical?

[Greatest I am]

Aside from the comment most others will make to this: "It's bullshit anyway, so who gives a fuck!"

What if Jesus, out of love, gave himself - for what is said to be - the redemption of the people's sins? It would indeed mean that the innocent was murdered while the guilty were allowed to walk away. That is not good justice in a legal sense, but it is good justice in the sense that, out of love, the people's sins were forgiven.

Imagine being a father and knowing your son was as immoral as they come, but given the option of taking his place on death row - would you? It's not just, or righteous - it's simply love. That idea of love amazes me to this day, no matter how much bullshit and lies are stuffed into religion, especially Christianity - some of the ideals presented are awe inspiring, to me anyway.

What about your sons victims?
Do they ever get closure that way?

Would you feel the same way if he were a rapist and his victims saw you, the father going to jail, while you see your rapist son back on the street the next day?

Would those victims see your love or your foolishness in letting your son free to rape again?

The fact that people get all teary-eyed and sentimental over the alleged crucifixion of a human being for any reason, just makes me sick.

If god so loved the world, he should have just forgiven sins, and made it clear that sacrifices weren't necessary. The christian definition of "love" and my definition are nothing alike.

People need sacrifice because they acknowledge their frailty. It's a pay up scheme, where you trade to have your bad stuff forgotten.

Xtianity isn't based on human sacrifice. It's based on a deities sacrifice of itself.

Gods can die. How droll.
