What about the ultimate torture & punishment?
Would that satisfy an angry human?
Probably not.
I didn't ask you what, I asked you how. I could see the death penalty (maybe more than once if he respawns) but why torture Zeus first?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

You know that didn't happen a) jewish religious law didn't have crucifiction as a punishment, and b) the Romans wouldn't have crucified someone (especially a someone agitating for coexistence with their overlordship) who broke local laws.

Jesus had to die
I didn’t ask to be born and I didn’t ask for the human sacrifice.
Or, it's God's way of paying the price along with us for opening that original door to sin, that He put in front of us?
Maybe, He knew we would choose to open that door, and then know what sin is before we did it?
And perhaps, He had a plan to reconcile Himself to us by suffering the same price all of us will pay... Death
The difference? He didn't sin! NOW.... death isn't ONLY for sinners! That curse is broken, by His act!
And all we need do is believe that He paid our way: Love Him for it. And Love ourselves and one another as His faithfilled children. Amen
So the way to appease god is to make him take a 36 hour nap. Sounds about right for somebody who acts like a spoilt toddler.

Most people do this already, this is why Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world.

Inflicting persecution on others =/= being persecuted, joshy.
Also other people disagreeing with you or losing unearned privilges is not being persecuted.
