Sin is an affront to ourselves (the oneness) and the diametric struggle needs to be resolved before the "individual" can return to the whole. Jesus was to teach us to love ourselves and show sacrifice for the whole.
Dunno... makes sense to me anyway.

And that is "religion" in a nutshell.

If it makes sense to you...you can believe it.

If you step back and question why an all powerful being would make a sacrifice of himself to himself to show the creatures he created he doesn't need a sacrifice anymore it stops making so much sense.

Then if you look and see all it did was create another riff in what people believe it makes even less sense.

Then the argument comes that that is because we are human and not perfect like god.  A god whose plan didn't work.
