"God's incarnation in Jesus is not so important;

Of course, it is a challenge. We are all challenged to use our G-d given freewill to make the right choices. We all have a bit of divinity in us. We do our part to rise to the better part of ourselves. G-d challenges each of us. It isn't a burden as your words seem to say, but a gift.
