Since you -don;t- think that jesus died for our sins, granting us some sort of vicarious redemption or atonement through substituion (and I want to reiterate here that I find it increasingly difficult to consider you a christian with every post)...how...exactly, did he die -for- his friends? Seems like the strongest claim you could make was that he died for his own principles (and even those weren't uniquely his). Hell, at least one of his buddies claimed that he didn't even know the man....three times.
That's suicide by cop, not a sacrifice. A principled stand, perhaps.....an impressive bit of social protest, maybe...but beyond that, what?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
