I just wonder, if a person wants to marry you, and will kill his/her child to show that he/she really loves you, will you love this person better???
Jesus was a Jewish apocalyptic prophet who was born in north Galilee. After coming of age, Jesus began preaching the end of the World, namely, that an angel from Heaven ("the Son of Man") would come down (Jesus, as with his other contemporaries, believed in a flat Earth) and deliver the Jewish People from the Romans. After a year or two of preaching, Jesus was persuaded to take his message to Jerusalem. A short time after arriving Jesus went to the Temple and began preaching; a scuffle ensued, and Jesus was promptly arrested by a Roman guard and taken to a Roman jail cell. He was examined by a Roman official and deemed to be guilty of sedition against the Empire. After a brief consultation with the local Jewish authorities (the Romans were, of course, federalists), Pilate signed the order for Jesus' execution without ever meeting him in person.
Jesus was executed by crucifixion; after his death, his body was removed and tossed into a nearby pit where it was consumed by ravenous dogs.
