If the second coming ever happens, do you think Jesus would want to see that? Show him a picture of some kids you adopted or something, or maybe some of those Harvey Birdman cartoons. Just not a cross. That's kind of mean. I don't really know if this will start a debate, but its times like these I thank god I'm an atheist.

There is no way to go into an in-depth theological discussion on the computer. I will say, however, that Jesus didn't die to end all sin--we still sin today. By His death and Resurrection, He conquered death so that we may have eternal life.
If by "having a good time" you mean worshipping the Holy Trinity, then I guess Jesus does want us to have a good time.
Concerning why Christians wear and display crosses, the cross is a sign of victory and lets everyone know they are followers of Christ. It's not mean--it's triumphal!
In regard to your last sentence, why would you thank something you don't believe in?
