To put an end to the bloodshed he gave us bloodshed.
Surely god in all his infinite wisdom could have done something a little less barbaric and a little more convincing.
Man caused the bloodshed, when God kill the the animals to cloth Adam and Eve the skins covered their nakedness and the shed blood covered their sin. It's not that God couldn't have done it another way, this is what He chose, the shedding of blood shows us the awfulness of sin, even yourself says it'e repugnant.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
