Um... no... like seriously no to everything. If Jesus had been sacrificed upon birth, you might have a case here, but he was a grown adult man. Now MAYBE you can articulate that because he was perfect that would be the equivalent to an abortion based on that technicality, but him going to the cross was not an act of evil. In fact by saying so you pretty much vindicate the two points you were trying to make about accusing God of being evil because, well... Jesus pretty much went willingly.
That whole "we put Him on the cross" argument quickly falls apart when you realize that people were ready to die to prevent such a thing. So if people were ready to fight on His behalf, that kills the "we put him there" argument. Of course that same argument stems from the inherited sin fallacy so I'm not surprised you tried it.
Jesus put himself on the cross because it's what needed to be done. He was put there by the establishment religion and the Roman empire and likely would be put there again by the Christian church and the American empire if He were to come today in the same way He did the first time.
I attack the religion because it's based on Paul, not Jesus. If it was based on Jesus, we'd be in a better world provided people stuck to just what Jesus said and not interpretations. We all have our own interpretations of His teachings and that's okay. He didn't give us this knowledge to be right. He gave it to us to learn what is right, but more importantly to learn how to love unconditionally as He does. This is why I welcome challenges. I am secure in my beliefs because peoples anger is not an attack. It's a cry for help. Nothing they can say or do will change the existence of God, so why get so butthurt about it?
