The grief is almost overwhelming. So this guy comes to you and says "hey, I hired these goons to torture me to death so that you won't feel bad about the awful things you did. Remember, this is all for you!" Then the goons torture him to death. Suddenly you're like "holy shit, that was a weight lifted off of my shoulders!"
How does this atone for our sins?
What, in short was it supposed to do?
...and you go back to doing horrible things, you worthless sinner, you.

Complete morons believe it despite it making no sense.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
