Ah, but X, the secret is that God has done the one thing that would have seemed beyond him, he has experienced our deepest misery, in the awesome cry:"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?". Greater love hath no one than this, to give his life for his fellows. It is the ultimate demonstration of love and solidarity with humankind.... As for the injustice in skating, well, Roman Catholics, most Orthodox, and some Anglicans believe in Purgatory, so that one does not skate entirely. But the idea of vicariousness atonement is this: you have to pay for your sin in some measure. Thus, for example, one could make a sin offering in the temple, sacrificing a bird, say, and thus not get off scot free. In this case, God has staked one to the sacrifice, made it on your behalf, but you still have to accept it and live a devout life to gain it. Thus, the full rigor of justice is not imposed, but one does not merely skate........
