A.E.: All myths to me. Wotan (Odin, Oden) sacrificed an eye and was nailed to the tree of life for 9 days or thereabouts (correct me if that is not exactly accurate) in the quest for knowledge. Which he in turn gave to man. Martyrs have been martyrs for any number of reasons. Jesus died for our sins? That seems like a very clever way of portraying the pertinent facts. Kinda jewish.
If I had to pick one, I would choose the god that sacrificed to help me, not the one who's sacrifice makes me feel perpetually indebted.
I cannot believe a just god would allow what I see everyday.
