Abstract
expiatory sacrifices are a common theme in many theologies. however, from a dialogical perspective, this theology is devoid of spiritual-sense. sins are nothing other than our deliberate and unrestrained choice to say IT to a being. therefore i expiate for my sins by restituting more goodness on earth than the one i’ve taken away. no one can expiate my sins, for sins are not entities that exist in the world or in the heavens. sin is abolished the moment we turn away from itness (teshuva) and offer to repair (tikkun) the thou source of our being.
