On human sacrifices

This is a real doozy.

Christians feel so superior to their heathen brethren because they eschew human sacrifices.

Excuse me but Christianity is founded on the principle that Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the purported son of YWHW (or whatever the Christians call their mythical biblical god), had to be sacrificed in order for Christian humanity to be saved (from what praytell?)

Pagans at least sacrificed mere mortals (and a king or two) to their gods and their goals were very practical like a good harvest!

The Christians upended the whole routine by sacrificing (a) god for Christian mankind's salvation. A rather remote goal. The soul does not need any real food while in its mortal flesh?

After that how could you possibly topple it with another sacrifice, manly or godly?

It was the sacrifice to end all sacrifices yet it is nonetheless a human sacrifice masqueraded as godly to make it more palatable?

Please let the Jews off the hook of deicide now. It was a dirty job but someone had to do it if the whole of Christianity depended on it. Why not the Jews then who had fabricated the biblical tales to start with?

Oops, but that was not all. Countless martyrs (where they crazy or just on drugs?) also had to be sacrificed before Christianity could take hold (almost three hundred years later, some divine intervention/revelation!)

Only when Christianity emerged as legit were the human sacrifices stopped.

Hey, they didn't want anyone else to duplicate their success.
