Sacrifice?

We always hear how Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for the good of mankind and ,indeed, Easter is the one holiday where this event is brought to the forefront of every Christian's mind.  It is the most important holiday in the Christian faith, for without the resurrection the whole religion would fall to pieces.

Jesus was tortured, crucified and rose from the dead three days later to atone for mankind's sins.  This is seen as the most noble act ever performed through the eyes of Christians.  

But wait...

First of all, it is clear that Jesus was aware of the events that would occur after his execution.  That is, after three days he would basically become a Superman to rule over humanity from Heaven with his Dad, or just him, or whatever the hell the holy trinity is supposed to mean.

That said, if Jesus knew he would be the saviour of humanity, which he clearly did,  and that his death would only be temporary my question is, HOW THE FUCK IS THIS A SACRIFICE!?  He sacrifices jack shit and if anything he benefits.

Here we have a living God "dying" only to have himself "resurrected" after a "brutal" three days.  And this is all instrumented by a God(who may or may not be Jesus as well)  in order to create a loophole in the stupid rules he himself created for humanity to follow.

And this is seen as a noble and selfless act...

This just goes to show how absolutely poisonous religion is on the mind.

Does that seem right to you?
