And this is a tangent but I still say that Jesus should be begging for our forgiveness, not the other way around.
Jesus should come down to earth and beg humanity to forgive him for watching but doing nothing to stop his worshipers from torturing, murdering and oppressing people in his name. We're not talking about "free will" here, we're talking about his "servants" acting in his name. He should apologize for a religion that promoted superstition instead of science and held humanity back until finally the hold of his religion was broken. He should apologize for all those who cynically accumulated wealth and power by working this religion on the gullible.
He also needs to apologize for his own actions. He was God incarnate, sent on a mission to deliver a message to all of humanity. He could have spoken out against slavery but instead used slaves in his parables and even said the slave who does not obey should be beaten. He could have promoted equality among the genders or other social justice issues but did not. He could have left some suggestions about proper hygiene but instead told people that demons cause illness.
Given all the misery, stagnation and strife that Christianity has fostered, the creator of this disaster for humanity is the LEAST FIT being in all the world to stand in judgment of anyone.
