Can you also show me from the scriptures where it says that God wanted to be appeased through the bloody, violent, torturous death of his Son?
Have you read Isaiah 53? Particularly the conclusion of Isaiah's rant?
10 Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes [ c ] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life [ d ] and be satisfied [ e ] ;
by his knowledge [ f ] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
Romans demonstrates the matter even more clearly, stating numerous times that the only way we as sinners can be saved from God's wrath (in his righteousness he cannot stand us) is by Christ's blood. By default he hates us all, considers us his enemy, and the only way he could stop hating us was through the bloody sacrifice of a human which is just about the only thing that gets him to stop being so damn cranky.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Propitiation is the appeasement of God's wrath - in this case through blood sacrifice, as God required. Trying to paint it as anything else is to re-write not only the dictionary, but the entirety of Christian tradition, which it seems nouveau-Christians, who invent their own doctrines and beliefs as they see fit, seem to have no problem with?
