Rabbi Yashua Ha Nazar (AKA Jesus the Christ) Didn't die on the cross but met his wife Mary 3 days later and left Judea.
As General George Patten put it
"No poor dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. The idea is to make the other poor dumb bastard die for his"
From even before the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC) the sacrifice of troops would have been in vain if there had been no live soldiers to carry on the battle and defeat the enemy.

I just hope Americans don't spit on the American soldiers when they return from Iraq like they did with Vietnam vets--even though both wars were lost & immoral before they began.

JC didn't offer to die for me. He just went ahead and did it.
I don't recall asking him to die for me.
