It just gets worse since the gift giver supposedly telegraphed their intentions for the gift (and no, it isn't any better if you insist that it was the torture and/or death of a living god). Yes, it's a point of pride for me to actively avoid scapegoating (and to actively criticize those who champion the same), is this a problem? What is there to be insecure about? How could I be deceived? Scapegoating is bullshit. So was your response.Scapegoating might just be necessary and the most merciful notion possible, but i think the word that should be used is sacrifice, willing sacrifice.
If he wants you to have what he is giving, why not take it? Its because your too insecure to accept something like that or that its some sort of trap or falsehood. Or its pride, too good to accept something out of your control and would rather be saved by your own power than by someone else. You do this to establish reason and rationality as supremely necessary or the final truth that should control all life. Thus i am concerned with that i am still to be controlled, weakened by a system that still constrains, even if there might be a better choice out there.
