I would go as far as to say that it is THE most important part in Christianity.
That means your favorite myth is senseless to the core. If god wanted to forgive us why could he not do it? Is there some higher power binding him? If so why worship him and not this power? Maybe it is loving and just? A loving and just being would consider scapegoating morally reprehensible and unjust. And they would think even more so of the idea of infinite punishment for finite crimes. So which is it? Either god is loving and just but bound to a higher power or he is omnipotent but neither loving nor just.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
