The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

He's the programmer of the simulation you think the universe is, and you're just a subroutine. Also, don't forget that Abraham was to sacrifice HIS own son and God stopped him. You should never ask someone to undergo pain you're not willing to undergo.

I have news for you, Mr. McGrew; Jesus' death was not a "sacrifice." It was a shitty weekend, after which he (re)gained Godhood. I would let someone crucify me in exchange for that.
Congratulations on completely missing the fucking point, as your kind always do.
