solar you love to harp on about Jesus dying for our sins etc. But when you come to think of it what kind of sacrifice did he do if he came back to life? A sacrifice usually implies dying as in the animals sacrificed in the O.T. and staying dead. Where the shedding of your blood would be the atonement for your sins.
Not only that but crucifixion was a common practice in the Roman empire so it's not like Jesus if he ever existed was the only one ever crucified in history. There are several things that convince me that Jesus as an historical figure did not exist.
1. There is no secular evidence outside of the scriptures that he existed.
2. His coming back to life nullifies his sacrifice.
3. There is no evidence that he was "the Son of God".
When you really think about it many people have suffered 10 times over what Jesus allegedly suffered. If you have any doubts about that ask any living Holocaust survivor. Even the church martyrs suffered more horrible and painful deaths than Christ.
I agree with Ace on God being cruel for sending a good person to hell simply for not believing in God although he does not present evidence of his so called existence.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
