Is it egotistical to think that a God would die for you?

RE: Is it egotistical to think that a God would die for you?
First of all, Jesus Christ existed as a historical figure. Plenty of historians say so.
Dying on a cross? My evidence is that Christianity came to be the religion of millions when it started out surrounded by devout Jews who savagely killed its followers, and spread across the Roman Empire, despite that many more of it followers were killed as well.
Whatever these people preached, it had to be something worth listening to, and something worth believing as well, since so many people died for it.
It would take quite the conspiracy to make that stuff up. If Jesus Christ HAD been a story, it would have made as little sense to first century Jews and Romans as it does to you. In Jesus' time, gods didn't love people. And if they ever were on earth, they didn't die. So I also believe in the Christian story because it is so original.

That's mathematically impossible. You fail.
Funny. For a math equation, it sure isn't working. Haven't you also heard about the calculation that if there was ever a race equal to, let alone superior to, humanity, that it would have contacted us by now?
