Good? Why? If God wanted to forgive "our sins" committed by a man that (if you acknowledge evolution) never existed, why not just forgive and skip the sadomasochism of his son (or correctly himself)? I mean just look at yourself and where your religion has driven you to the point that you think that torture and murder are good.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
