Something I never understood

(this is a part of a continuing post.  If you haven't, I suggest that you start reading from a post entitled "dancing with atheism.")

The origin of the word "scapegoat" comes from a practice of transferring your transgressions to a goat and sending it off to a desert to die. I don't know about you but I find this practice to be fascinating.  Let's hypothetically say that someone raped a girl during the days when women were considered to be slightly more valuable than a heifer.  The man, after admitting guilt, takes a few goats, and "scapegoats" the poor animal and claims to be free of his sins.  Is this practice just?  Is it moral? 

The practice is unjust.  It is immoral.  As unethical it may be, you can transfer your penalties to someone else, but you can never transfer your sins, no matter how many goats you sacrifice.  Even if vicarious redemption were moral, it is simply impossible to free you of your sins, unless there is a time machine.  If you commit a murder, I can take your place on the electric chair but that does not change the fact that you are a murderer.  What is done is done. You are not free from your sins. 

So what happens when you decide to sacrifice something far more valuable than a goat?  A thousand cows, or son of God for example.  Does value of the sacrifice make the practice just and moral? 

No, of course not.  The idea of vicarious redemption is nonsense. 

The central idea of Christianity is undoubtedly Jesus Christ's supposed sacrifice for the humanity.  I find this story to be rather contemptible and ridiculous for two reasons, and I have already explained one.

The second immoral aspect of the crucifixion story is the idea of inherited transgressions, the idea that sins of your parents can be transferred onto their children, which gave birth to the doctrine of Original Sin.  I hope I don't have to explain in detail why this is so immoral and despicable.  Children are not exempt from the original sin, yet the only sin they've committed is the sin of being born - something they had no control over. 

It's no surprise to me that so many fundamental Christians condemn gays.  These people have no shame in hating people for the way they were born.
