That whole thing totally happened, bro!" way, where the hook for belief stems from the locality of the myth and its characters rather than the veracity of the story itself.
But, yeah... the story itself is utterly ridiculous. Some kind(ish), loving(ish) man-god decides to pull suicide by cop in order to create a pathway to forgiveness for the things he put in place while in his god form hundreds/thousands of years before... and we're supposed to be grateful, even though we weren't sinners when he offed himself... and the sacrifice didn't stick because he decided that death kinda sucked three days into it... and it raises a shit load of questions about the nature of sin and god's strength and/or intelligence/wisdom to overcome it/absolve it if that's the best solution he could come up with....
Yeah also its not the most moral story in the bible. god in the bible doesn't set a good example at all except a good example of
being a fuck up, maniac, and idiot, and others. When a simple i forgive you could have solved everything the had to fuck up
and get temporarily incapacitated.
