    To be fair, it’s not supposed to be Jesus’s sacrifice in Christianity, but humanity’s. Instead of having to sacrifice a chicken or a lamb for every occasion, God’s physical presence on earth was sacrificed as payment for all sins forever.

      But like the picture says he came back after 3 days so the whole thing was pointless. More pointless than the general pointlessness of a god making a human version of himself to kill to open the doors to a heaven or hell that he could have done at any time for any reason himself and also knew it was coming. It’s seriously the dumbest story in the entire world

        He came back for a few days, then left forever.

        The “sacrifice” is that he didn’t stick around forever.
