I am muslim and for us Lord neither begets not die.
You may feel proud of the belief that lord died for the sins. For us Lord forgive us without death if we repent.

None! That's why it is written:
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming to be in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him, and has graciously given Him a name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Praise the Lord!

Hmmmm....well in Greek mythology Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the mortals as a "means of life" as he puts it. When Zeus found out he chained him to a rock and had a eagle eat his liver, which also regenerated every day so that he could be further tortured over and over again.....he didn't technically die but you still get the point.
There should also be a ton of similar stories which predate Christianity, but frankly I'm too lazy to look them up this early in the morning.....

No other religions begin with an empty tomb.
That is why the claim of Christianity can not be simply "just another religion".
Either HE was the resurrected living Son of God - or this is complete hoax.....a hoax that was perpetrated by early Christians willing to be tortured, imprisoned and ultimately killed - all in the name of a hoax.

Well, my faith has gods and goddesses that fight BESIDE me in the end - that says a lot more to me then dying for sins I don't believe occurred.

Several actually. Several have Resurrections. Several have great sacrifices for mankind. Odin hung from the tree for nine days with a spear in his side (Oh huh, didn't Jesus have a spear in his side?) in order to bring us the runes.

Amazing love I know it true
Now it my joy to honer you, in all I do, I honer you.

Go to Google video and search for ZEITGEIST.
Just watch the first third of the film (the rest is all 9/11 conspiracy "stuff").

Your question does not make sense! We have the faith in Jesus, not Him in us.
