 Religion theme...start shoot two hours before rollover...basic editing...recipe for disaster. If this isn't in my bottom 5, I'll be happy.

But it means something to me.

I didn't recognize you, Doc!

He's saying that he should have died for his own sins, not mankind's sins. The other side of that coin is Christ's amazing act of Mercy, ignoring what "should" be and granting Doc eternal life.

Next religion challenge I'm going to put on a robe and sit under a tree, smiling. "It should have been me."

Technically well done. Good low key shot. You've put good effort into this but it doesn't appeal to me.

I don't understand the message of 'it should have been me'.
