Assuming a Christian metaphysics is accepting that it is a sacrifice because the Bible says it is, even though the circumstances of both the event and the being 'sacrificed' make the deed sacrificial in no sense of the term. You know, like how we're supposed to view mass murder as 'good' when God orders it done and "enslave yourself to me me or suffer totally and forever" as 'love' because God says it is.
To assume Christian metaphysics requires one to shut off key parts of the brain.
Complete and total straw man. I understand you don't care for actual investigation of truth, but I have to call you out for people that read your garbage.

I think we've both repeated ourselves enough. You say there is a sacrifice and I say there is none. The overwhelming majority of the evidence supports me, not you. Even if I digress on the pain point (which I wouldn't), it's an insignificant pathetic amount of pain and it isn't even physical pain. Well, not nearly enough to warrant a sacrifice in the eyes of Yahweh and certainly not by any actual definition of the word.
You only read what you want to. I said that physical pain wouldn't cut it. Multiple times too. Are you scared that the Christian story makes sense? I really don't get you. You keep telling me I'm wrong without supporting evidence. If you are going to assume a the scriptures like you said you would on post #1, then please do not also assume radical empiricism with the crucifixion. I mean, how much farther backward can you go?
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
