As I understand it, Jesus was arrested, beaten, humiliated, spat upon, crucified and died, all within about a forty hour span, with his body removed from the cross and interred before the beginning of Sabbath.

Then, according to the myth, he came back to life, hobnobbed and nattered with his disciples, or with hundreds of people (depending on your source), and then arose into heaven, and since then has been relaxing in a mansion of gold.

So -- how can you say he died for you? Have YOU thought about this so-called ‘death’ that what’s-his-name actually suffered?

Would YOU go through two days of humiliation and torture, followed by a messy death for….the next two thousand years of endless weekend at Party Beach? Compare this to what survivors of Auschwitz went through. They wouldn't have considered the rough handling of the Roman guards much of a cross to bear, would they?

Jesus DIDN’T ‘die for your sins’. He had a bad weekend for them (maybe). Since then, it’s been nothing but red carpet treatment, cherubic and seraphic entourage, and occasional personal appearances on toast, tortillas, and oil stains.
