We are still not convinced.
1. He didn't suffer enough. I would suggest in terms of suffering by many who choose not to suffer but are made to children included he didn't suffer at all.#
2. Most of us haven't sinned so don't even pretend to suffer for us. Then again even if he suffered how is that supposed to help us ?? It hasn't not in 2000 years and it wont. most people on the earth do not believe.
3. God and Jesus decided on this dastardly plot so God would have to accept it ?? It was his idea .
God and Jesus are one (trinity etc) I know that's another argument but an even more absurd one.
His resurrection is not proof its not even been supported by evidence so its proof of nothing.
God told him to sacrifice himself like an animal because ?/
Why would God want animals even to be slaughtered as a sacrifice when he made the things and gave them life in the first place??
Its a bit like shooting fish in a pond.. Pointless and cruel.
Thats why we dont need God even if he existed. Luckily he doesnt.
