Christ didn't die for your sins. He died because the Romans wanted him dead. Either way the guy was going to be nailed to a cross. We already knew what forgiveness, honesty, compassion, fairness, etc. were before and after the death of Jesus. I don't see how he was such a revolutionary force for these concepts. There were no teachings of Jesus that weren't already known besides the ones that said God was great and such.
