Your probably right.
In fact the most selfless thing we could ever do for each other is nuke the hell out of all of us, but I think we are too selfish to die for our sins. We're just not Jesus enough, me thinks. We haven't evolved to that status yet, and doubt we'll ever get there.
But "jesus" never killed itself. "jesus" was killed by "other" human beings.
So, according to your "logic" here, "jesus" was also 'selfish' because it wanted to keep on living and surviving, like the rest of the majority of 'you', human beings.
The point being, Jesus could have escaped his fate,
How, exactly?

but he willingly accepted his fate that was to die at the hands of other humans.
When one is on on 'death row', and then marched/forced to their own 'death sentence', then how exactly can one defy that order, and not willingly accept that outcome?

He basically dies so that we don't have to.
Do you, really, think or believe that 'you' could have lived forever anyway?

The sacrifice was an allegory, a metaphor for it's better to be good than be a bad person, it's saying die to sinful ways, and give life to good ways.
I do not think ANY thing is needed to PROVED, that it is better to be 'good' than to be 'bad'.
I think this is a GIVEN, which does NOT need to proven and JUST speaks for itself, anyway

Good is our natural state anyway, we already know how to be good, the Jesus story is just a metaphorical reminder to us that we are good, and to resist the temptation to be led astray from that place, that results in the despairing feeling of being separated from our true nature, and from what is essentially our only true and real self which is.. love.
Evolution takes 'us' to our True Self anyway, and there is absolutely NOTHING any thing any one can do to stop 'us' from eventually becoming our True Self anyway.
