Lol, I suppose if you call the intentional suffering and love of life the test, then yes, he cheated. But I don't think that would be the test. I think, if anything, life is an intellectual and moral challenge. Jesus, either as a god or as a man deeply attuned to nature, passes this challenge with flying colors with his deep knowledge of reality and humanity.

This is one reason I don't buy the argument that says god does not exist because god would not allow all this suffering on earth. In my opinion, if you truly believe in god and the afterlife, you would have an awareness that suffering is a meaningless, mortal sensation that pales in comparison to the lesson/test we are going through and the eternal life that follows.
