Mormon atonement - Jesus died just so you can be resurrected

This Mormon doctrine never made the slightest bit of sense anyway, besides being ridiculous.

Can any ex-mo explain how exactly this worked? Jesus was one of millions of spirit children and Heavenly Father hung onto him for thousands of years and then beamed him down to earth so he could die and be resurrected, therefore everybody gets to be resurrected?

The only explanation I ever saw for this is that it was so deep and sacred that it was imponderable.

Right.

And it's not as if the mormon Jesus died for any real reason. I mean, they keep blabbing about "The Atonement", but apparently he did not take on the penalty for all our sins, like the real Jesus did.

In Mormonism, you merely get to be resurrected, then you have to be judged for your sins.

Kind of a raw deal.
