a god that requires sacrifice only because he created the situation that requires it

god allows us to reject him. but he still loves us enough to let jesus be the atonement for us so that we can be redeemed.

god requires sacrifice because he cannot be in the presence of unrighteousness. no one would want it any other way. it's kind of like going through a metal detector to get into a secure event. you don't have the right to be there until you do. once you're cleared, you can enter. if it weren't that way, the event would not be secure and the system would be a farce. the sacrifice is what makes us righteous so we can be in his presence. in order to be in his presence a debt must be paid because no one is perfect just like we must surrender our weapons in order to get into the secure event. the sacrifice used to be jewish sacrificial system. now, it is jesus. jesus is the fulfillment of the sacrificial system and judaism in general.
