The concept then is obviously something that looms deeply in the collective unconscious. That doesn't necessarily mean that men just made up the concept of Christ based on that. Perhaps the collective unconscious may have been part of the means of revelation. The problem of sin and need of redemption was serious enough to be keyed into something that would parallel sacrifice of a child. That was the whole point. It was about Love, and yet done without sacrificing an actual child.
I have noticed that the last shot in the locker is always, "Love".
"Love", is meant to be the trump card to obfuscate the meaning of sacrificing a child or a Son.
We are told, with a straight face, that sacrificial love, "agape", is the highest form of love. Yet Jesus himself begged his Father not to sacrifice Him, by saying, "Father, let this cup pass from me". But to no avail.
And this mirrors the tens of thousands of children who begged their fathers not to sacrifice them to appease the wrath of God. But to no avail.
