I Could Have Stopped This

Today, I happened upon this post on The Book of Faces.

The author talks of the tree which would later be used to crucify Jesus Christ, and muses as to whether or not the original god contemplated the creation of that tree.

In my own contemplation of this, I wonder: "If such a god existed...why not create a universe in which none of this blood sacrifice is needed?"

The Christian may reply: "God wants us to have free will. To be able to choose." Okay. But if this god is all-powerful, as you claim, could he/she have not created a universe in which we can have free will without the need for this sacrifice?
