If you search for resurrecting gods who died for people, you might find Hitchen's list of about 6.

You are generous and correct on both counts.
I see Yahweh as immoral and many of Jesus' moral tenets are not moral at all.
I especially dislike his no divorce for women and substitutional punishment.
His genocide of us when he return is also a moral turn off.
