How is justice done by him torturing and having himself killed?
If a policeman caught someone raping a woman, and he instead had himself punished, is that justice? No, I think not.
How do bad people learn anything, or how are they dealt with, by God incarnating himself as a mortal and having himself then tortured and killed by the so-called 'sinners'?
