No, it doesn't. But it's hard to accept cognitively. I feel the same way about prayers.

Fair enough.

For me personally, I like my version better. You get to ask for stuff!

I want a hamburger, NO, a cheeseburger...I want a hot dog...I want a milkshake..I want potato chips...

I strongly believe it is possible. In fact I think this is how we are supposed to believe the atonement went down.

Moses 7:39 And That which I have chosen hath pled before my face.
Wherefore, he suffereth for their sins; inasmuch as they will
repent in the day that my Chosen shall return unto me, and until
that day they shall be in torment;

Doctrine and Covenants 45:3 Listen to him who is the advocate
with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him--

Doctrine and Covenants 45:4 Saying: Father, behold the sufferings
and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased;
behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom
thou gavest that thyself might be glorified;

Doctrine and Covenants 45:5 Wherefore, Father, spare these my
brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and
have everlasting life.

Alma 34:15 And thus he shall bring salvation to all those who
shall believe on his name; this being the intent of this last
sacrifice, to bring about the bowels of mercy, which overpowereth
justice, and bringeth about means unto men that they may have
faith unto repentance.
