Why did Jesus Christ sacrifice his self for you?

Being thankful to a god or any of its sidekicks is always baffling fo me. I am always thankful to my good friends, because they always help me when I am in distress. I am thankful to my doctors, because they help me live a healthier life. I am thankful to my teachers, because they thought me how to read. God did not give me anything that I need. I did not exist. I was fine. He gave me a life with financial difficulties, health problems, an environment riddled with wars and I know for a fact that I have it much better than most. What is there to be thankful about, I wonder.

If anything , he should be thankful as we brought some joy to his lonely life. He should work much harder to please us.

I work in emergency services... The amount of times I have seen someone rescued... And the rescued person thanks God instead of the person rescuing them is actually rather baffling.
God doesn't send us to save anyone.

You aren't really providing anything. Enjoy.

FYI. We all have lives and yet still find time to converse on the forum to an appropriate degree.

There's a difference thoith between thoughtful long and carefully constructed dialogue and snappy 2 minute answers like the one I'm giving now. The closed discussion was a serious one in my opinion and requires thought, not quick snappy comebacks. But sometimes I'm more busy and sometimes I'm less, so if I had the time, I would've given an actual reply

I am more than happy to wait as long as required for you to garner the appropriate amount of time for a proper reply.
