      It happened to a huge amount of people. The Romans crucified so many people, it was so common place, that they didn’t even bother to write down how they did it. All I’m saying is, it wasn’t a unique form of suffering that was particularly difficult to Jesus vs thousands of other people in history. If the difficulty of the death was the measure, he didn’t go that far out of his way.

      Fair enough, but I also don’t think that we should consider a few days of suffering for an eternity of basically being god much of a sacrifice.

        I wouldn’t take an eternity of existence under any circumstances for anything. Please just let me fucking die when I’m done.

          I wouldn’t want the worship, but not being a regular mortal, having powers and omniscience and the like? Sure, I’d like that. Maybe I could make reality suck less for others.
