According to christian myth, Jesus is the human corporeal manifestation of the god Jehovah/Yahweh, (and several hundred years ago they also made a 3rd component, the Holy Spirit), but back to the myth - the 'christ', Jesus was a human male manifestation of the god, and was separate but one with the god. This human died for human sin, but - well, not all human sin, for original sin, to open the doors to the rest of humanity from limbo into heaven, since all were barred due to original sin.
However, Original Sin - was a made up sin (well, all sins are made up, but in general, sins are supposed to be 'bad things'), but original sin, was eating the secret fruit, it was the gotcha sin. Because - this god, Jehovah/Yahweh created humans - so when the god made humans, it made them human, that is to say, curious, trusting, credulous, ambitious, etc... so - this perfect god made these imperfect beings, set them up to fail, when they acted in exactly the way they were designed (remember, they didn't evolve in this myth, they were designed to be the way they are), then they were punished.
And Then, this very same immortal god made a temporary meat-sack avatar, let it get destroyed (doing him no long term harm of course, because he is a DEITY and immortal and omnipotent), to 'save' us from the punishment He/It dealt humanity in the first place.
Now - why is anyone supposed to be grateful for any of this? Isn't it incredibly circular and at best the metaphysical version of self gratifying auto-fellatio by this god?
