I'm not sure that I understand the ideas of sacrifice and a saviour.
I don't see how sacrifice is (so to speak) transferrable, and I'm bothered that God should choose this method (if indeed He has).
And while I have no difficulty understanding original sin and the fall, I can't see how we can be saved from it.
Some versions of Christianity would respond by offering me eternal life (resurrection of the body), which I do not want, not even with every tear wiped from every eye.
(Of course, as someone remarked, if life after death has been arranged, what I think about it will be beside the point.)I'm not sure I want too much hope either.
Hope seems to me a thing we should be wary of.
