Otherwise I have little understanding of the point you're trying to make, as even if you believe that Jesus was this "almighty savior" who made a completely selfless sacrifice "for the greater good of humanity" it holds no value, as that is someone else, not you. Also, that is completely irrelevant because even if that was somehow a valid point, it still does not mean a person still can't be completely one sided. In fact, it would probably invoke exactly what's addressed in this thread, because that person would look on to all others who don't appreciate this supposed sacrifice to the extent they do, or don't appreciate it at all and would never be able to understand that position, as it would create an even greater division due to the fact they have deluded themselves in to thinking this is indisputably true.
But all that's irrelevant, and I only elaborated for the sake of entertaining myself, as you failed to meet the first criteria. And with that, your pathetic attempt at trying to act intellectually superior, or claim that I had somehow missed something entirely is in vein, as it doesn't even address the prompt. Why have you misrepresented the Christian position? Was it on purpose? Are you ignorant of what it teaches? What are you talking about?
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?

I did not give you a description. I told you why the description of what that means doesn't have any relevance to this. You are attempting to claim, i presume, that because jesus died as substitute for others instead of them, that that is the least one sided you can get and I specifically explained how that has no relevance or weight on whether or not religion invokes one sided views unless you are claiming to be jesus, in which case no, that is not a one sided view.

Nope, at least not to the same degree.
