Also, why does god have to sacrafice himself, to himself, to appease himself from being so pissed off about man breaking a rule he made?
Sorry, the whole thing just never made any sense to me, even when I was a christian.

If it never made sense to you, why did you become a Christian in the first place?
(1) Rebellion (as manifested by violation of God's laws) separates man from God.
(2) Man cannot reconcile himself to God through the law because he cannot keep the law.
(3) If man violates one part of the law, he violates the whole law.
(4) The wages of Sin (violation of the law) is death.
(5) Redemption is only possible through blood sacrifice (i.e., through the blood of Christ).
(6) Salvation is freely available to all who accept Christ's sacrifice as payment for their sins.
