Because he was a willing sacrifice. He could have stopped them at any time, in any number of ways, he had the power. He CHOSE to die, and to follow the will of the father.

Isn't that suicide
no, it is the purest and truest definition of non-violence we can see.

That's really odd considering how violent and misanthropic God is.
Stop ascribing human atributes to God. God is the definition of words, words dont define him. Taking a human characteristic and then holding God up to it to see if he shares in it is backwards. I am not asking you to believe in Christianity or insisting that you see God from that perspective, but from a Christian perspective God isnt defined by things, God sets the defenition. If God did it, is is good, because God cannot be anything but good. That is the basics of a deontological system that is religious in its focus.

What attributes can you attribute to God that aren't human? Love? Benevolence? If God did it, it is good? I have to go but i'd like to come back and comment on that later

At what point did Jesus willingly die?
He questioned God for sending him to die then accepted it was for mankind.

I mean, I know you're an atheist, but that's a bit rude...God is DEF not misanthropic!!! Sure, Sodom and Gomorrah, but that HAD to be done. Those people were sinners.
