Or we could skip the crucifixion and bury him hoping he'd revive after 3 days.

Did Jesus also commit adultery with a porn star, use campaign funds to hush it up and then lie about it?

Or does the analogy not carry that far?

If you believe that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, then I think Jesus would have been cool with a porn star. That said, adultery and embezzlement/theft were things he was definitely not cool with.

PS: There is a Christian conspiracy theory that postulates that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' lover or a very important figure in the fight against the establishment, but because that lessened the mythology of Jesus and empowered women, she was edited to be a removed that Jesus rescues rather than a woman he admired.

What does that have to do with anything? It’s meant as a clarification. Catholics don’t believe that the book was actually written by him either.

I read “embezzlement” in your comment and for some reason, my brain shouted “enshizzlement” instead. Not sure what it’s trying to tell me.

You are assuming that when Jesus asked his followers to eat his flesh, he meant cannibalism.
