Why punish Jesus for our sins?

Somehow I got a feeling, perhaps with all the media circus the "Particle Accelerator Experiment" of CERN has generated, many people would have been forced to wonder if there is a GOD as we all humans have known for so long in our lives? What about our, yours truly included (and quiet well so), belief in THE ONE who has created it all? After only 20 centuries since JESUS died for us all, have we come to a point where we are powerful enough to question the very existence of the one we've always considered not only to be the most powerful, but also the only source of all power?

I know I am asking a question that is truly and vastly beyond my powers of intellect, spiritual enlightenment, and also my religious origins. But before anyone makes any assessments, let me assure you that coming from a devout sikh family, we've always believed in Christ and the path he's shown the humanity, an alternate route to being one with THE ONE. We refer to him as "Esah Masih" which means "Jesus, the Mesiah".

Anyway, before I get to what I think I know about Jesus' way let me first settle any queries that challenge the very existence of my beloved GOD, just because of a funky experiment we humans have the audacity to waste billions of tax payers money on, when no one working on it can guarantee in written if the whole thing won't suck-up the entire globe into one of the miniscule blackholes generated during the wasteful monstrocity.

Say everything goes fine with the experiment, and by the end of the decade we know the entire story about our universe, right from it's nappy days, to it's current hippie tone, so what?

We may get to know how the universe was created, but how does that answer, why the universe was created? Where the universe was created? Who created the universe? If the universe had to be created, what was the need for the non-living matter to combine into to parasitic non-living forms that only know how to consume, waste and destroy, rather than adding anything constructive to the cause of the universe?

Why does a mass of cells start to live a life as an individual, and when the same individual dies, the same mass of cells stops functioning?

Well, I don't know what answer could possibly be for all these questions, but I do believe that there is definitely someone who is more powerful than all of us and that is THE ONE we refer to as GOD.

Jesus, did a favour to the whole of humanity and showed us all a way of how to get in touch with HIM after we die, by getting rid of the sins we commit during our lives as humans on this globe. He sacrificed himself to show us all the meaning of love, truth and honesty. And if that was not enough, he gave us the biggest gift that only the son of GOD could have given us. He offered to suffer for our sins in place of us, so that we may enjoy the comforts of heaven in the presence of GOD, after we all die.

Jesus suffers the punishment for the sins of anyone who believes in him, goes to him and seeks pardon for his mistakes and misdeeds. Jesus takes all his sins on himself so that the punishment of GOD could be administered and justice be provided to the one who suffered.

Jesus is the purest of all and yet he's suffering punishment after punishment, not in heaven, but the dreaded place we all sinful mortals don't want to go. Jesus can't be with his father, our GOD, because of our sins, and his promise to get us rid of all of 'em.

So everytime you do something that you know is sinful, hurtful, or bad, remember one thing if you believe in Jesus, "The moment you will accept your mistakes and seek forgiveness from him, all your sins will be transfered on to Jesus, who will then suffer for your sins, so that you can be rid of 'em."

Don't make Jesus suffer for your wrong doings. He's already suffered a lot for us. Please, stop sining!!

Believe in GOD and trust your love, like I do.
