That is interesting, but I think what the "sacrifice of Jesus" is indicative of is far less the nature of God and far more the nature of the primitive tribal people who were trying to fathom the nature of God.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
