If it really could have been his son how could God have been so mad as to have him tortured to death? Even worse than the madness of Abraham who sacrificed Isaac? Apparently, it was required by the priests and theologians for part 2 of the story: Christianity after Judaism With the nonsensical twist that The Giver Makes A Sacrifice to the superstitious who want to receive heaven and bow their heads once a year at the words 'Have mercy'
