There's a Catch-22 in the whole salvation myth:
- If Jesus died and stayed dead then there was a genuine sacrifice, but he's dead and unable to help anyone.
- If Jesus came back to life, it's a bit of a stretch to call it a sacrifice. Therefore the alleged debt is still unpaid because the cheque bounced, and all that remains is a bunch of "feel sorry for Jesus or else!" emotional manipulation.
The entire story is motivated by appeal to underlying sadomasochism, of the fetish besotted acting out a fantasy.
