Jesus was the son of God. Technically, humans sacrificed the son of God, who was sent to redeem them. This sacrifice meant that humans felt they no longer needed God in their lives, but were now in charge.
The Olympians defeated the Titans, and the Gods changed form into another team. The Titan then disappear. Jesus offered his personal leadership to the humans, but too many humans decided to sacrifice the God of Love and have humans take over his role as the god. Caesar was considered a god. Things got very cruel under the godless human leadership; genocide.
The irony is, many modern people lament and blame God for all the ills of the world. Why would God allow so much suffering? The reason is God was sacrificed on the cross, by the mob, 2000 years ago. This human pain, after the sacrifice 2000 years ago, was not due to God, but due to the evils within man. The pain of the world is due to human choices, since God was sacrificed.
The humans could have sacrificed one or both of two criminal thieves near Jesus. The choice was still open at that point. One of the thieves even pleaded for the life of Jesus, since he knew Jesus was innocent, and he and the other thief better deserved death. But the mob chose the human criminals. They became cruel killing Jesus, and then scores of innocent people.
Jesus, after his death, became someone who was worshiped by faith, since he was no longer in the flesh to see and touch. This faith had a balancing affect on humanity, but the godless were still in charge, so human suffering was the norm.
