Are they paid by the church goers to take responsibility for their sins so that the flock of sheep can walk away wringing their hands in gleeful glory that their corruption has been legitimized once again?

The same system is continued in every religion. Study Hinduism - they do the same. Study Islam - they are the same. All what matters to them is money.

NICE QUESTION!
The answer is, of course, NO.
Scripture states, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid." Romans 6:1,2
But ever since forgiveness was first granted to a human, we have been abusing the love that gave it in the first place. We are to REPENT, that means turn our backs on sin and not continue in it.
This is what the world expects when it looks at a Christian - perfection - but nobody ever seems to fill the role of perfect. Strange? Not really. We are weak, pathetic humans, giving in to our sinful natures at the drop of a hat. ONLY ONE MAN HAS EVER LIVED AS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A SINLESS LIFE, and sinners crucified Him, so...
The only difference between the saved and the eternally lost is one word - FORGIVEN.
The great thing is, ANYBODY can be forgiven. All you gotta do is ask Him.

I think Jesus used this parable of God and son to explain his experience of divinity. Those who have had this experience say it that they are part of the divinity. It is like ocean and they are like a drop of water.Jesus put it in more human term. That's the authenticity of Jesus's experience. Now what his followers understood of it, god knows!
