As regards the whole "punishing one for the sins of another" thing, I've come to the conclusion that the only moral response to a sacrifice like the one Jesus is purported to have made would be to reject it. "What? All my sins will be forgiven if this Jewish carpenter is tortured to death? I guess I'll just have to do without forgiveness, then!"
I often thank Whomever May Be Listening that I'm not one of those people who believes in an angry and spiteful God. It can be oddly comforting to understand that sometimes bad things just happen and it's nobody's fault.
