Are you a parent?
Do you want your children to always be less than what you are or do you wish that they equal of better whatever you are?

No but yes I would. God gives that opportunity through redemption in Jesus.
Also there have been a couple people who walked so close with God he took them straight to heaven, without dying.

So you have to embrace barbaric human sacrifice and the punishment of the innocent instead of the guilty, a satanic form of justice, to get you now immoral soul into heaven.
Go to your satanic heaven then but do not expect respect from those with a decent moral sense.
You will not agree but --- having another innocent person suffer for the wrongs you have done, --- so that you might escape responsibility for having done them, --- is immoral.

Not only barbaric human sacrifice, but also ceremonial cannibalism.

I don't know how you act when you get invited over to a friend's, but if he says "don't take the candy in the bowl," I certainly won't consider the candy a gift.

If all sin is punishable by death, what happened to the scriptures that say that justice should be more like an eye for an eye?
And a man who inflicts an injury upon his fellow man just as he did, so shall be done to him [namely,] fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he inflicted an injury upon a person, so shall it be inflicted upon him. Leviticus 24:19–21
specifically addresses man, and God's standards aren't interchangeable with man's; and Jesus outright goes against it.
You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. - Mathew 5:38-39

God is supposed to return to rule the earth. Should every small infraction be replied to with death from God when he rules here?Do you think that to be good justice?
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? - Corinthians 6:9

The issue was who said they became as Gods.
Gen 3;22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:

When you do, I will see that you are worth my time and respond to the rest.If not, then you show your lack of morals and there is no point in my addressing the rest.
All in all you're not worth my time. You are ignorant of even the basics of contemporary philosophy and theology, and your belittling attitude is offensive.

All to appease the lie that they have been condemned.

The passage you are referring to;

There will be no sin in God's kingdom.
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? - Corinthians 6:9
So you can't back up your own arguments? Concession accepted.
This is what you said:
Man did not become as Gods in any other way that he learned of good and evil.
You don't know what morals are. I specifically asked you what morality you identified with and I even gave a few examples so you could read up in case you didn't know.
All in all you're not worth my time. You are ignorant of even the basics of contemporary philosophy and theology, and your belittling attitude is offensive.
What is offensive is your morality.
My upcoming O.P speaks to that.

Christian, are you selling your soul to Satan to get to heaven.
I think Christians are going to be surprised when Satan greats them at the pearly gates.
I find it strange that in a world where the law of every land tries to punish the guilty instead of the innocent, Christians are ready to immorally try to profit from the punishment of an innocent Jesus, by thinking that their (good) God would ask his son to be a human sacrifice. Clearly an immoral and satanic practice.
I could perhaps justify that sacrifice if the Father had stepped up to hos own demand but the coward send his only son instead.
As a Christian, would you be a coward as well and send your only son instead of you stepping up?
Who do you think is more likely to ask for a human sacrifice and think it a moral thing to do, Satan or God?

Who is more likely to torture and kill babies, Satan or God?

There are many christians doctrines in which that "instead" doesn't mean anything. Coward is also a misnommer since God can't never be at risk of anything.
This topic seems to have run it's course anyways, for me a lot of your argumentation hinges on an enclosed point of view, which ironically proves your points are as narrow as the religion you (rightfully?) attack.
