Why did God require a sacrifice of Himself to Himself?

RE: Why did God require a sacrifice of Himself to Himself?
Nah...it makes no sense to me at all. None of it makes any sense at all.

If god is omnipotent why did he need to sacrifice anything to redeem our sins? Surely he could just say 'you're redeemed, guys' and leave it at that.

If jesus is co-eternal with god the father, then in what meaningful sense is he the son of god?

Here's an old one: if jesus is both human and divine, then doesn't the divine element make the human element insignificant? Infinity + 1 = Infinity. Iirc this is the monophysite position.

Jesus clearly didn't 'die' on the cross in any meaningful sense, since he is both divine and eternal. What sort of 'sacrifice' is that then?

Its all bizarre and incoherent gobbledygook dreamed up by a bunch of second- and third-century fanatics. How any thinking person could actually believe in this tosh is something that continues to amaze me.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
Mikhail Bakunin

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything
