Still doesn't make sense, Frodo. What about the animals? They were just "killed" by humans. So was Jesus.
I'm sorry, but there is no getting around the fact that Christians just do not want god to have been okay with a human sacrifice. If god made the sacrifice to cleanse people of sin (or whatever) how is that a sacrifice? In fact, it is not really a sacrifice at all, given that the rest of him just went back to heaven. Without the human sacrifice aspect of it, it's a shitty story with more plot holes than Twilight.
