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?Whether or not I would do it won't change the moral status of those who would accept it, wish for it, or praise it as virtue. Your example, of course, ignores that their own inequity has led to such a situation - as per your religious narrative. Perhaps this eluded you, but it isn't jesus that I see as the villain in the vicarious scheme - it's you.
(you've shit on the very notion of self sacrifice with your example as a defense of your "elevation" to guilt free status....btw - yet another reason that your religion poisons everything it touches)
