Why was the crucifixion necessary ?

Authority. Do you have the authority to make this declaration?

Sure, so long as enough of us agree, which is why I'm asking you if you agree with this principle of scapegoating, so that we might write it into law.

Justice is a sense of fairness that man has established/agreed upon within the soceities he has established. (Justice varies from generation to generation from soceity to soceity.) Meaning is is not a standard it is a lable put upon whatever we find fair at the time.

Fair enough, and your idea of what justice and righteousness means differs from mine somehow? I'm just going to keep asking you this, would you like to write scapegoating into our system of law?

True Righteousness is the perfect standard of God.(It does not change) We know not all who are subject to God's righteousness will find it fair/just. (Those in Hell for example)

Blueberries..... yadda yadda yadda..spare me the fucking platitudes Drich.

Justice yes. righteousness no.

LOL........okay. So, going by this we shouldn't write scapegoating into our system of justice...but if we wanted to be truly righteous we should engage in scapegoating? That about right? I'm wondering, btw, what the double standard embedded in the concept of justice is, care to point that out?

Please explain.

Already have, but I'll repeat myself. I think you're suffering from cognitive dissonance. That's my explanation. I think you have prepared a special box for your deity so as to excuse it for what you would judge negatively in human beings. I think you've created a scenario whereby you are forced to argue that might makes right, and I don't think that you would actually sign on with that argument in any other arena.
