Jesus' Sacrifice

I have to say that is one of the weirdest ideas invented by people -- that one "worships" a deity with sacrifices -- by killing something, but it is so widespread an idea in so many religions, but at the same time is so illogical and, if I may say, just plain dumb, that one really wonders what in our evolution might have led to such a way of thinking.

Christianity of course took the idea to perhaps its ultimate irrationality by deciding through some mysterious magical way the death of a piece of God himself was needed, although of course it was a something of a sham since the death was not real and the particular piece of God (the Son) was very quickly brought back to life.  Something like someone giving you a gift and then taking it back three days later -- not really a gift.
