Who determined that killing Jesus was going to satisfy God? It's almost like tossing beautiful, young virgin girls into a volcano to satisfy an islands fiery God that lives beneath said island.

And while I'm here, let me ask this. God forgives, correct? So breaking a commandment isn't really bad as long as someone makes a confession and has their sins removed or cleansed or whatever you call it. On top of that, why didn't the great Jesus just confess to a bunch of sins of those he died for if that's what people do today?

Excuse my ignorance as I haven't dug deep into the subject. I tried to before while I was on a retreat (yes, 3 days and nights with no outside connection, just pure God (had to impress an ex-girl's family)) and I was just pushed away or told the typical "God has a plan", "God chooses those he wants", "God is almighty and should not be questioned" responses.
