-Why do we need a savior (and specifically, why this kind)
Because the people who proposed this garbage were firm believers in sympathetic ritual and fate. If you did enough horrible things to a proxy you could lay away all the horrible things (presumably) coming your way and escape that fate. The idea of this particular christ is nothing less than the elevation of a magic fucking spell (that people used to perform in their backyards..true redneck hocus pocus) to religious tradition and dogma.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
