The whole blood sacrifice thing is weird to me. Normal people just forgive others. Instead, this deity had to do everything you listed and take it to the extreme. People believe in stupid shit.
If you only think of jesus by the terms legalist define him.
In truth jesus was a liberator. He worked within judiusm to free the jews from toxic legalist practices. He attacked power and was murdered for it. His attacks were born of sold morality and acceptance. He believed in the good in people so much that he was willing to die for it.
When you submit to the legalist definition of jesus you miss him entirely.
God invented sin, then made himself human in order to kill himself to save people from himself. Makes perfect sense.
