What is it you consider pathetic? The things you listed?
Well...
*God wanted men to murder Jesus
I don't think God wanted men to murder Jesus, but he knew it would happen... Jesus did in fact come to die for us... That is how we escape sin...
*Jesus has equivalent power than that of God
Hmm...
Well Jesus is God the son...
*Jesus prioritised Glorifying God higher than any other priority.
This is true... Whats wrong with that?
*God is good
Again true...
*God doesn't want people to go to hell
Again, what is wrong with that?
Heres a little hypothetical for you... If you knew hell was real would you want anyone to go there?
*God wants people to believe in Jesus or him.
Sure he does... What is the pathetic part of that?

Well, it's that time again! A wonderful Sunday of which Christians consider their Sabbath.
A day of the weekend, and a day for Christians to come back from church all loaded and ready for another round.
§
*God wanted men to murder JesusWhat was the point in that? What a sadistic and barbaric ritual of which nothing is accomplished but the numerous punctures and blows to one man. How do we know ANYTHING happened upon his death? How can we surely ascertain for ourselves that he rose, even his disciple Thomas the Doubter got a chance to be reassured!
Well that's what the story says anyway, but it's only there because it wants to round up doubting people to single files as to believe that there is a God.
Those disciples got a chance to see for themselves that Jesus had risen, but where's our chance?
Has anybody seen Jesus before?(excluding boys that people have named Jesus in modern days)
Whether righteous, evil, believing, denying, traiterous those disciples were - they all got to see for themselves the 'works' of Christ.
What makes it any different of us?
§
*God is goodHow can you say this is true, without even knowing for a surety?
Christians continue to blame God when good things happen in their lives, and then blame Satan for the bad.
Too much following what the book says.
§
*Jesus has equivalent power than that of GodA God who is unable to show himself, a God who is unable to sin and a God who is unable to be humbled.
Are those not weaknesses? Those are the limits of this so called 'God', therefore infinity is deprived of him.
