Perhaps I need to expand upon this some more. I'm trying to understand what you're saying. Are you trying to say that substitution and sacrifice are the same for Girard? I was under the impression that they were different according to him. After all, if the language of sacrifice were followed in the Bible, we would simply be left with another cycle of violence, one we have seen repeatedly in various other mythological stories.

Now, correct me if I'm under the wrong impression, but isn't the uniqueness of the Bible and Christ's Passion in the fact that Christ /substituted/ himself for us and was not /sacrificed/ for us? In other words, it's a matter of an innocent being recognized as innocent and is still willing to give his life in order that we might live.

I suppose I just wanted to say that they point is that we SHOULD make the difference in the terms of use instead of following their common (and often incorrect) usage.
