Thats the thing. I own my 'sins'. I am fully aware of and accept all of my selfish desires and am comfortable with my sense of pride. My sins are mine to carry and mine alone. I know what they are better than anyone. They do not bring me to my knees. I accept them. I do not hoist my sins onto anyone elses shoulders. No one can take my sins away from me. I would not allow it even if I beleived the offers from various religions to be true. I believe it would be immoral of me to pass my sins off onto anyone. So I would not accept the offer for Jesus to take my sins from me. I dont need or want a whipping boy.
This sounds alot like what captain Kirk said to Sybok, (Spocks biological brother). " I dont need Sybok to take me on a tour of my failures, telling I should have turned right when I should have turned left, telling me I should have done this when I had done that. I dont need him to free me from my pain, I need my pain, its a part of me"
No point here just thought the comparison was neat
However he (Kirk) did say to Mcoy and Spock at the end that maybe God is not out there but in each of us
