Could very well be. If Taz focussed on being a good person, I mean really, really focussed.. then there'd be a decent chance that he'd realise that he can't actually be a good person.
Which, I think, is what the "real Christ" set out to teach both in word and in (by comparison with his) deed
The whole salvation thing is very circular and certainly by appearances looks like a giant Ponzi scheme.
He imparts certain natural predilections in the form of instincts and tells you will go to hell if you act upon those God-given impulses. Then he offers a way out of hell which is to accept his sacrifice. But you're still left with the desire to sin, which he gave to you, whether you accept or deny the sacrifice.
So, what's the point?
Why even create the possibility of sin, or even the material world if the temporal world ultimately means nothing?
What on earth is the whole point?
