Why does it matter whether Jesus Christ was crucified or not? Because Christianity as we know it today has been an extremely positive religion that has inspired many to do positive things, and has served us well for over 2000 years, but it places limits on us that prevent us from realizing we are powerful, eternal spirits who co-create what we experience. If instead we begin to understand and adhere to the notion of Christ Triumphant instead of Christ Crucified, we will have a more positive idea of who or what God is, and come closer to understanding God's true nature. If we are to experience a world that is far more positive and enjoyable than the one we currently experience, we need to open our minds and imaginations to a far more expansive and powerful notion of Jesus Christ and God.
