Vicarious atonement is a travesty of justice. Substitution cannot be justice.

In fact, it clashes with the Bible: no man can atone for another's sins. Now, the Christians will tell you that Jesus is God. yes, but he is also a man. God didn't suffer and die or atone for anyone. Rather, it was Jesus in his human nature who suffered and died (deity, i.e. divine nature, is not subject to suffering or death).
