    Well the whole theological basis is that Jesus is a perfect sacrifice who you can sacrifice in order to move your sins from yourself to him, and since he’s perfect he can take on infinite sin from infinite ritual participants. And then you’re sin free and allowed to go to heaven.

      A) this is the western view B) I first read “sin free” as “free to sin” which actually made more sense to me since the biggest assholes I know are highly devoted Christians.
