You should spend a little time learning about docetism. The docetists were xtians who thought that jc's earthly body was a shell and that while he was being crucified jc was actually standing off on the side laughing about it. This "heresy" seems to go back quite early and may well have been the original form of xtianity before the later orthodox version won out and exterminated them.
You see, even early xtians thought 'jesus' had sacrificed very little.
Thing that gets me is that this jebus seems to be credited with life theories that existed 5, 6, 8 hundred years before he was (supposedly) born. The OBE of this character standing outside his body speaks of Hinduism Meditation practice, it is also credited to Witchcraft.
As I understand it the early xtians were just a rebel group...hence the delight with all the smiting and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the gospels.
