I'm not questioning it. I'm accepting the reality as I see it, and as it's been seen by humanity before us. The guilt which holds us back... is a constant feature of the human psyche. All Christianity is doing here is dealing with a human issue. We as humans have a problem with what our natures lead us to do. Our thoughts and actions.
I don't understand how anyone can disagree with a greater good trumping a lesser suffering. So Rhythm, if your whole company of 7 billion people were all going to suffer extended pain and you could stop that by sacrificing yourself, you're saying you wouldn't do it, and you'd think that moral?
Seems to me like you're taking the most egotistical option.
We have no choice to stop the suffering of Christ. He did that of his own volition. A selfless act. I'm choosing to put him through the suffering by rebellion against him. I do that all the time.
