You haven't answered my question. If God is omnipotent, he didn't need to have his son die in order to absolve us of our sins. He could just say: Hey, presto!
I am asking the reason for your beliefs, You have avoided the point so far. You have avoided countering any argument of mine which is difficult to reply to. You have provided us with no reason to think that your belief is rational, and you want us to respect it.
If not him, someone else stepped in and drew it. What's the big difference?

The reason? feeling. emotion. i know it's not scientifically or politically correct, but i cant help but feel that we're not all that's there.
And who's to say God doesnt feel the need to abide by his own rules to set an example for us? he knew a sacrifice was needed to be made to repent for sins, so he made the ultimate one.
plus, perhaps it's all part of a beautiful plan; there's so many parallels between the new testament and old testament things; abraham almost sacrificed his son, due to God's request, and God sacrificed his own son to forgive us of our sins.
