Yes, he went ahead knowing that those who love him would get eternal life, and those who hate or ignore him would get judgment and hell. Yet again, foregoing creation due to that knowledge would be favoring the enemies over the friends, which is absurd.
How about those who, using their "god-given" talents in logic, reason and evidence, see no validity to the bible stories?  That's not hating, ignoring or denying god, it's using the tools that work in every other part of life.

Who said He "needs" it?
Ok, why does he require it?

It's compatible with a righteous and just god. God is both just and loving. Love does not require one to ignore sin. But, in god's love, he offers salvation which he earned for us himself. If you don't want that salvation, you don't have to take it.

So, "just" is eternal torture for not being able to make oneself believe something?  Different than what we call just.
And his "love" is conditional on being worshipped, and, although he "loves" us, is fine with eternal torture.  Again, different from what we call "love".
And "righteous" is whatever he wants to, as that would be the definition of righteous.

How someone can call this creature good, loving and just is beyond reason.
