Do you Believe? That JESUS Christ died on a Cross for our sins?

If there was a person in history corresponding to the Biblical Jesus (there probably was, but eh, hedging my bets), then whatever he died on the cross for, it probably wasn't "our sins." It was probably more likely being a political threat (unless Jesus had some skeletons in his closet that aren't recorded in Christian mythology). Remember, the Jews of the time thought the messiah would be a political-military figure, something like Muhammad. If that's the case, then it makes no sense for Pilate to have allowed the Jews a choice in who the Romans executed. If he was a threat to the social order, then he was a threat to Roman governance in Judea. There's no way Pilate would have handed off someone like that to the whimsy of the mob.

I do.

No. I do not. I believe that there may have been a man named Jesus who was crucified. However, I do not believe that he is/was the savior.

Yes I do, but I'm a heretic. I believe that is true for those who choose that path. The perfect liberty of the 'blood atonement' is one of my favorite roads. True early Christianity would never be accepted by the fundamentalists of today, though. When Christianity was hijacked by Rome, it became more of a political ideology than a spiritual path. Jesus is my favorite Avatar though.

no i do not believe that nonsense, but the roman emperor constantine passed it into law 400 years after jesus was crucified that he was the son of god, only so that he could use the religion of control for his own dominance of the masses. it was be christian or die basically. lolz forgiveness riiight..
