Hundreds of years ago, a "Jew" died for the sins of a nation that were to be called "Christians".
And now, all Christians are going to heaven and the rest are to burn, burn burn (including Jews).
What's do you say to that?

My apologies for the "What's" typo.

I'd say that is pretty messed up.

I'm Agnostic and I say that's because Jesus (and his followers) was a Messianic Jew (not an Orthodox Jew). Messianic Jews are essentially the first "Christians." They were Jews in every way (followed the Torah, celebrated Jewish culture & traditions, were ancestors of the tribes of Israel etc...), but simply had the added belief of believing Christ was the Messiah. The followers considered themselves Jewish, but Judaism didn't.
Messianic Judaism & Gnosticism were destroyed by both Orthodox Judaism and the third, and most powerful, early Christian religion - Paulism (the early version of Catholicism).
Messianic Judaism (along with Gnosticism, and many old Pagan religions) has been recreated in the last half century or so. But it is slightly different than the original version.

A Jew died for the sins of a nation (of Jews), that are now called Christians, but now jews would even go to hell. Well I don't think Jews believe in hell, good for them, so I think they'll be OK. But that just goes to show, if there was a God, He/She would be thinking what silly b*tches humans are.

I say that's sad. There are a lot of good people, non-Christians, who would be supposedly going to hell, to suffer for all eternity when they hadn't, necessarily, done anything wrong.
This is part of the reason I am an atheist instead of a Christian...I'd be miserable in heaven thinking of all the people that were sent to hell just for not being Christians. I'd rather there not be a heaven or hell at all.

Seems like the Jews got the short-end of the stick on that one.

It's this kind of nonsense that causes people to leave Christianity and become atheists.

I'm a Christian, and I'm telling you to grow up.
*postscript: I thought you were claiming to be a Christian. Didn't know you were just a troll. Sorry if I offended you.*
