Thus we enter the truly stagger<strong>in</strong>g vicious circle <strong>of</strong> a God who<br />
punishes himself <strong>in</strong> order to forgive the men and women who<br />
<strong>of</strong>fended him.<br />
One day there was a dentist who was an oral hygiene enthusiast. He<br />
loved his work and was a true expert <strong>in</strong> dentistry. However he could not<br />
tolerate bad teeth. Throughout his career, all his patients had some tooth<br />
defect or the other. Some peoples teeth were rotten, others plaque<br />

as immoral or looney?<br />
The concept <strong>of</strong> atonement via blood sounds like a dentist try<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
break his own teeth <strong>in</strong> order to calm and treat his patients who<br />
