If it makes sense to you...you can believe it.
If you step back and question why an all powerful being would make a sacrifice of himself to himself to show the creatures he created he doesn't need a sacrifice anymore it stops making so much sense.
Then if you look and see all it did was create another riff in what people believe it makes even less sense.
Then the argument comes that that is because we are human and not perfect like god. A god whose plan didn't work.
I suppose the sacrificing of Himself was done in hopes of setting an example, putting us on a path of "micro-sacrifices" for one another, and (of course) eliminate the ritual sacrifices so we might concentrate on our fellow man.
The rift you speak of is there, unfortunately.
There will ALWAYS be asshats that pervert anything to gain advantage.
This illustrates the chosen path, of free will.
It can be ugly and it is looking less and less like the meek shall inherit the earth.
(Maybe that means they'll be buried sooner ?)
Regardless..... "Blessed are the cheese-makers.".
As far as His plan not working........ Dunno.
I'm not going to be so vain as to attempt to judge such a thing.
But...that rift you spoke of is showing everyone a peek into the souls of others.
