> so in order to "get" christianity you have to buy into the ritual logic of judaism, which states that sins have a transitive property you can symbolically imbue on a sacrifice to be absolved for. or we could just be greek and remember the ancient ritual of pharmakos, where in times of disaster a slave, a cripple, or a criminal was beaten and forced into exile to absolve a community of its transgressions. why are you pretending that only jews historically believed that sins have a "transitive property" that can be transferred?
