Even the suffering angle is fallacious. If Jesus was himself God, then he
too was omniscient and omnipotent, so he had nothing to fear during his
trial and crucifixion, because he knew that he wasn't really going to die.
If he had all power, then he could have anesthetized himself so that he
wouldn't feel anything, so if he suffered any pain, it was his own fault.
Furthermore, how could a preacher know that "pain" would be the same to a
god, whose ways are always higher than man's ways?
This whole tear-jerking scenario is too ridiculous for words.

I could not hold off responding to this post by you any longer Till :) What
is ridiculous is your complete misunderstanding of what is claimed happened
to Christ on the cross, and what the sufferings of Christ involved. Suggest
you learn what Christians believe this was as you obviously do not have a
clue based on your above comment. Once you have educated yourself on this
perhaps you would consider retracting the last line of your above post as
being down to your ignorance of Christianity rather than a true
representation of the same.
