Yet he killed 24 million people anyways and sacrificed himself to himself for a hole in his own creation and laws. What a genius.

There's zero evidence outside of the bible for the existence of your prophet. Even in his own times, apparently nobody gave a sh!t.

Let's say that the consensus is that our species, being the higher primates, Homo Sapiens, has been on the planet for at least 100,000 years, maybe more. Francis Collins says maybe 100,000. Richard Dawkins thinks maybe a quarter-of-a-million. I'll take 100,000. In order to be a Christian, you have to believe that for 98,000 years, our species suffered and died, most of its children dying in childbirth, most other people having a life expectancy of about 25 years, dying of their teeth. Famine, struggle, bitterness, war, suffering, misery, all of that for 98,000 years.

Heaven watches this with complete indifference. And then 2000 years ago, thinks "That's enough of that. It's time to intervene," and the best way to do this would be by condemning someone to a human sacrifice somewhere in the less literate parts of the Middle East. Don't lets appeal to the Chinese, for example, where people can read and study evidence and have a civilization. Let's go to the desert and have another revelation there.

Banned for a particular people for a particular period of time, yes. For all who now live after the time of Christ, not necessarily.

One of my favorite explanations that I have seen of this is here.
