Would you call a man who died in the hospital of third degree burns after running into a burning building to save someones life a human sacrifice? In the same way, Jesus died for us. He took the punishment for our sins, and He never did anything wrong. He didn't have to go to the cross; He did it out of love for us and for His Father.. Even if it were just you, He still would have gone.
If your god is all powerful, then why didn't he just forgive the people if thats what he wanted? Why does he have to play this sadistic game of sending his son (or himself which is debatable but irrelevant) to be tortured to death before he will forgive? Quite noble of him considering he only has to be dead for 3 days before he comes back to life, then he gets to go to heaven and be god of the universe. Sign me up for that job!

And the biggest question is why do you believe what you believe and why should I believe you?
