I think a point that often gets overlooked is that Jesus doesn't solely play the role of sacrifice, he also plays the role of a living example. By that I mean he takes on human flesh to prove to us that it is possible for us to live a sinless life. Because it's one thing for an all powerful God to mandate perfection from up in the clouds, and another to put that power aside and physically show us how it's done. To me that's a more interesting subject than the cross.
And yet that avatar of your god, Jesus, exhibited clear doubt in the Garden of Gethsemane. Granted that doubt may not be a sin -- though to many Christians it is -- by your reasoning it is implied that doubt ought to be welcomed, as that is what your god himself displayed in his earthly incarnation.
If you are to follow the example of Jesus, don't you question the cup at your lips too?
