Look, according to Christian thought, "God" made the rules. No one had to die for anyone else, and the idea of a man dying to save the world is essentially insane.

If the Christian myth is true, then I would have to seriously wonder and consider the source. God himself. What am I talking about? Let's turn the question on its head.
As a parent, would you consciously and deliberately have your only child murdered in order to save your own skin or the skin of the members of your club? The ones who agree with your thinking?
If I were an all powerful god, I would most definitely find another way. To do otherwise would be unthinkable and the pure essence of evil.

You're talking apples and oranges here. In your mind, the two things may seem connected, but they are not.
It's not hard to conceive that someone else, completely unknown to us, would sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I'm sure it's been done before.
However, that sacrifice doesn't make them a supernatural being, or the offspring of same.

i would die for my kids.
that's not the hard thing to believe, the hard thing to believe is that an omnipotent God would have to sacrifice His son in the first place.
the hard thing to believe is there was a world wide flood when there isn't enough water on earth for that to happen.
the hard thing to believe is that a loving God would torture anyone for eternity.

If my Heavnly Father died for me then who died for the people who lived before Jesus? These people had no chance in believing in Jesus.
No God would let his creation suffer in such a way. Jesus is a man, a Prophet of God, a human.

not hard to believe at all since this instinct is ingrained in the mortal psyche.

I don't think it is the fact that Jesus died for our sins that people can not believe- but they ( we ) are all sinners.
