If I make a sacrifice without knowing there will be a reward, that is far more noble than if I know there will be.
Your gawd-boy knew there would be a reward and exactly what the reward would be. It also knew it wasn't really going to die. Just kinda fake it.
When you know you're gonna get everything and the "sacrifice" isn't even permanent then yeah, the "heroism" is negated nicely.

I'm sorry, but of all the bullshit your cult teaches, this is among the most disturbing. The thought that it can ever be "just" for the innocent to be punished in place of the guilty is a vile, repugnant teaching.
