Oh, you mean the death/crucifixion of His son Jesus? Yes, He was innocent...lived a perfect life...
I wouldn't say God was "fond" of His death, it just HAD to happen the way it did.
God doesn't seem very omnipotent if He HAS to do something. And it's nobody's fault but His own if He has things set up that way...no?
I think it's more theologically sound to say that He chooses cruelty or death, not that He is powerless to stop it. And certainly I agree that Jesus conducted Himself in ways that He knew would lead to His death.
