How are they to answer for what they've done? The people they have wronged
are not the people that they will be atoning to, right? This is again, what
is horribly wrong with your scapegoat morality. You decide somebody wronged
you, but you have no power to do anything about it, so you decide to believe
that they will have some sort of come-uppance that will be entirely to your
liking. I have no faith that any atonement will ever happen as you say.

Isn't it convenient that all you have to do is answer to a being that has no
part in the harm you have done to others. What would it be like instead that
you had to atone to each individual person that you had harmed.
DS> I'm a sinner, but I'm a sinner SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD.
Yeah, that way you don't have to do any REAL atonement.
