So your god is dead, then? That would explain why prayers are only "answered" in the context of things that are already possible without the assistance of gods.
If you claim that your god subsequently came back to life, one of the following things apply:
I choose the bolded option -- There was never a resurrected Jesus. It's just a fable that's hundreds of years past its "best before" date. At most there was an insignificant mortal preacher who died and stayed dead. People who die and stay dead only have power in the imaginations of people who believe in them. I do not believe in your imaginary friend and I have no use for this "salvation" you speak of.
- Jesus didn't 100% die;
- Jesus did die 100% and had to be resurrected by a completely different god;
- The death scene was faked;
- The whole thing is just a story.
As for "suffered and died a terrible death" -- three hours on the cross is not particularly impressive for a god. In the Eddas, it states that Allfather Oðinn spent nine days and nights impaled on Yggdrasil by His own spear. FFS, *I've* had a hamstring tear that was a 10/10 on the pain scale and lasted more than three hours. (Don't even get me started on all those years of menstrual cramps...)
No, he rose in 3 days. He is the living God. He always was and always will be. He was scourged, humiliated, spit on, had to carry His own heavy cross, get nailed to the cross, and then suffocate to death. It was a terrible death used by the Romans. That is why they used it, for psychological warfare. They would even line the hill tops so passer-bys would see the crucifixions and not even think about opposing Roman rule.
