Christians are a minority worldwide. The majority of people simply don't believe the Jesus story is true. So, if it really happened, not only was the sacrifice of Jesus strange and gruesome, it was also a mostly wasted effort that has failed to save the majority of people. So god really failed.
I certainly wouldn't want anyone to have to suffer and die for me.
. . . and Jesus-ism is and has been beset by a literal orgy of schismatic fragmentation. Hard to reconcile Christianity with ANY concept of a 'One True Faith' as literally no aspect of it is agreeably obvious to all of it's adherents.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
