I understand the resonance of the idea of sacrifice, because sacrifice is inevitable in human life.
But I have never understood how the sacrifice is, so to speak, transferrable.
Why should God find it easier to forgive us because some people strung His Son up?
So I tell myself that it is all metaphor.
