God could have achieved the same goal without the supposed pageantry; which as I stated before, was practically worthless.

Ok, clato. In your opinion what is God trying to communicate with Christ on the cross, that could have been done another way?
I don't believe bible god exists but I think that the authors of the story were trying to convey that their god made a sacrifice for humanity. They didn't care that the story makes no sense or is offensive. Remember these were people who had probably witnessed a lot of cruelty by the authorities. Rulers were supposed to be harsh. The inventors of Christianity found a very interesting way of marketing a mixture of Judaism and paganism to the masses.
