We are supposed to be impressed that if Jesus had lived, and had suffered for 4 days (1 on cross, 3 in Hell), but is 4 days to somone immortal? Would it be like pricking my thumb, would you think I loved you if I pricked my thumb for you? Is that really worthy of admiration and love?

Agreed. It's nothing compared to the suffering we see in cancer victims, etc. every day in the real world.
And where is the sacrifice when you just pop back up alive again?

He didn't suffer more than a few hours actually if you believe the story. When the account says hell, the actual translation is "grave" or "ground".

well he went through that as a human so he felt it just as you would. and have you ever slowly had air cut off Crucifixion is not a walk in the park man. the structure of your body and muscle fatigue slowly make your airway close. its not a short hour or so its like a all day thing. so dont just be so blase about it.

While here He was FULLY man as well as fully God.
Thus what He endured was as excruciating as it would have been for you or me.
