Christ was an amalgamation of previous regional gods Jewish savior Jesus Christ

Throughout history, all over the world, people thought the gods required occasional blood sacrifices to be appeased. Judaism had done away with human sacrifice and was a monotheistic religion. Christianity claimed legitimacy by attaching itself to older mythology. It claimed the monotheistic God of the Jews and their history as its own. Jesus Christ was an amalgamation of previous regional gods and the Jewish savior rolled into one. Having a god take human form and then sacrifice himself to save humanity was not a new or unique myth. Does it make much sense? No. Jesus does not meet the requirements to be the long awaited messiah of the Jews. Another point is that the Jews had a prescribed ritual for animal sacrifice in order for it to be acceptable to their god. Jesus’s manner of death in no way conformed to that. Then there is the whole idea behind why a sacrifice was needed in the first place. Shouldn’t God, the all powerful, be able to purify anything or forgive anything without resorting to killing himself? Why is it important that he feel pain? What has pain got to do with anything? Why does sin have to be “paid for” and why are those metaphors used? While we’re at it, why does all loving God create eternal punishment for anyone or anything? Oh well, the whole thing is stupid anyway.
