Is it wrong to characterize the god/jesus story as [Spirituality & Religion]
a god who made a sacrifice to himself to make a loophole in a rule over which he has absolute authority?

No, that's just critical reading. It's like the plot hole from [i]Inception[/i]. Why doesn't Di Caprio's character just have his son brought to him? This is never explained. Sure, you can go along pretending the giant plot hole isn't there, or you can make up all sorts of rationalizations for why it isn't a plot hole, but at the end of the day the story itself never addresses the problem and by any real world logic this particular problem just makes no sense.

meh..yes. its not that the idea isn't true, but it's not the whole picture. you don't see what is at stake in that reasoning.

@UnparalleledMonster: what would have been lost. all the detail. The whys and the hows. The emotion. What is right and what is not. You can say he makes all the rules. And that he built in a loop hole. But what had to be done and why, for that matter, What still has to be done to make things right.

I still don't get the point of the sacrifice. Couldn't he have just decided to forgive people and not kill his son, or not have a son?
