Why did Jesus die?

Look, aiming to think clearly and act right—that’s the real goal for anyone trying to make something of themselves. Honestly, God is kind of a non-factor here. Besides, half the evil in this world happens because people go screaming about His name anyway. So what if He does exist? What if hell is just packed with people whose only "sin" was having an ounce of doubt or skepticism? Is that really the bottom line of the whole divine existence thing—that doubting is the ultimate crime? To me, the only thing that matters is making sure you don't reach the end of your life with a massive pile of regrets or stuff you wish you hadn't done. And if some guy shows up at the finish line and tries to tell me, "But that wasn't enough," well, screw him and his philosophy. At that point, hell wouldn't even be the worst thing that could happen to me.

75. Judgment Day - The End of the World
Mecca - 40 verses
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Most Merciful!
1. I swear by the day when the End of the world arrives
2. and by the soul that reproaches itself.
3. Does man truly believe we cannot gather his bones together?
4. We certainly can; We can recreate his very fingerprints.
5. Yet, man desires to sin while he lives,
6. and asks: "When will the End of the world come?"
7. When terror freezes the gaze,
8. and the Moon is eclipsed,
9. and the Sun and Moon merge—
10. on that day, man will cry out: "Where can I flee?"
11. Nowhere! There is no refuge.
12. On that day, you will be surrendered to your Lord,
13. and on that day, man will be informed of everything he prepared and everything he missed,
14. and man himself will testify against himself,
15. making any excuses utterly useless.
16. Do not recite the Quran with your tongue merely to memorize it quickly,
17. for We are responsible for gathering it so that you may read it.
18. And when We recite it, you follow its recitation,
19. and afterward, We are responsible for explaining it.
20. Truly, you all love this passing world,
21. and you show no concern for the next.
22. On that day, some faces will be radiant,
23. gazing upon their Lord;
24. and on that day, some faces will be grim,
25. awaiting a heavy misfortune.
26. Take heed! When the soul reaches the throat,
27. and the call goes out: "Is there no doctor?"
28. and it becomes clear that this is the moment of reckoning,
29. and the limbs are paralyzed,
30. on that day, you will be brought before your Lord:
31. "He did not believe, he did not pray,
32. instead, he rejected and turned his back,
33. and walked away arrogantly among his own."
34. Woe to you! Woe to you!
35. And once more: Woe to you! Woe to you!
36. Does man think he will be left to himself, without having to answer for anything?
37. Was he not a mere drop that is cast,
38. then a clot, to which He determines a measure and shapes a form,
39. and from him creates two kinds, male and female,
40. and is He not able to bring the dead back to life?
