The whole thing is just very strange once you actually start to think about it. So "sins" (btw what even is this concept, some sort of supernatural criminal legal system? who decides what is a "sin" and why does this authority have jurisdiction over me when i don't even get a vote? what if i just decide to go all "sovereign citizen" instead?) can be wiped clean with (pseudo-)human sacrifice, and not only does it indiscriminately apply to all past "sins" but somehow all future ones?
Doesn't make much sense to me, but what do i know, i'm no ~~expert in taking fantasy literature way too seriously~~ theologian.
Also, I never asked Jesus to do that for me, that's kind of presumptuous of him to just assume i'd want that. It's like someone saying "well i just did this thing for you completely unprompted that you never asked for nor wanted, but because it's such a "nice", selfless thing i did, you now owe me eternal gratitude". Sounds a bit narcissistic tbh, sounds like incel behavior. It's like, nah dog, you getting your ass crucified, that's on you, don't try and make it my problem.
I love the last paragraph
