Anytime someone comes up to you and starts squawking about Jesus dieing for us, God sacrificing his son, or any sort of variant of that, ask them to really explain what they mean.
For example, let's take a look at this statement: "Jesus died for your sins"
Atheist: Ok, if Jesus died for my sins then he is still dead right?
Christian: Well, no, not exactly. He actually rose again.
Atheist: Ok, so he didn't die for my sins then?
Christian: Stop trying to twist things around. He DID die, and then he came back to life.
Atheist: Mmmm...seems he never really died to me then. Once you're dead you're dead. How exactly does an omnipotent being die anyway? I mean if Jesus is God and God is all powerful how can it suffer and die? I would happily get beaten and whipped if I knew for a fact that it was just a temporary thing and that I was eternal. How do we know that this so called "suffering" Jesus did was real? If it's God, how do we determine that real suffering was done? What's the big deal? What REAL sacrifice was made? I just don't see it.
Christian: I'll pray for you.
Atheist: Sigh
