“Is it moral to believe that your sins can be forgiven by the punishment of another person? Is it ethical to believe this? I submit that the doctrine of vicarious redemption by human sacrifice is utterly immoral.
A positively immoral doctrine that abolishes the concept of personal responsibility on which all ethics and morality must depend.”
—Christopher Hitchens (debating Alister McGrath)
