No, willingness contends no such thing. Many a believer went willingly to their deaths as scapegoats for the tribe. See, we've been doing this for a long time (far longer even than the word or your faith has existed). I don't divert to magic or willingness, you continually assert it. I'm simply reminding you that there is no such thing as magic, and that the only person in this exchange that can be demonstrably shown to be "willing" is yourself.
I don't think that god does play any role in any scenario CRod, which makes it even more terrible (if that's even possible). This is what I've been trying to explain to you for some time. You made the analogy, you are defending the crucifixion. The comparison is an obvious one.
Scapegoating does seem to be a part of the human condition, a regretful part of it, except insomuch as people such as yourself would disagree. You've spent what, a couple of days now just trying to get out of the gates by redefinition. Would it be safe to assume at this point that if you had been able to address my objection, if you had within you an explanation which would satisy my own (clearly much more stringent) sense of morality and conscience, that you would have done so and provided such an explanation?
