non-duality

This reminds, of archaic religions where God has to be calmed down by human sacrifices. A terrible God picture!
"Jesus has been crucified for you and you aren't ready to accept his present" is one most frequent used sentences of Christian missionaries.
An red Indian responded to this once: "I don't feel guilty, how you have handled him. If he would have come to us, we would have taken him joyfully".
Here is been worked by making a guilty feeling to others.
Next is:
The effect (crucifixion) happens before the cause (our sins) which is already very doubtful. Besides that, here is also taken the possibility away from us to take the consequences of our faults ourselves.
If we however consider sin as a necessary growing process of the soul which is be done by unripe souls (we all have an unripe soul at least to some extend), then sin is no longer bad. Because it is a preliminary stage to the maturity.
However what would it be like, if all our sins would be forgiven. We wouldn't reap what we sowed. A spiritual growing then would hardly be possible.
Secondly a crucifixion is certainly gruel, however thousands of people have been murdered similarly gruel. An many of them in the name of Jesus. In no other name at all was murdered more, was tortured more and suppressed more, on this world.
Of course Jesus is not guilty for that. Guilty are human beings which thought it's enough to declare the belief in Jesus and then not to worry about the own behaviour and it's consequences.
So seen this dogma holds a great danger.
How do you think about that?
