Things that don't make sense to me in the bible/religion

1. In the bible it, many times is written that God is angry, happy, not pleased, holds grudge and therefore punishes, blesses and so on. Now my question is, if God is a divine being, how come it has the feelings of a human, the simple creature?
2. In many religions it's common to build religious structures like churches and synagogue. And once it was even common to sacrifice animal for God. Now let me ask you this: According to you God has created the entire universe, why would it need your synagogue or church or let alone some animal? I mean, if God created the entire universe I'm pretty sure s/he/it won't be needing some man-made building or a cow.
Can somebody please explain this to me?

The others explained that we are created in God's image.
The animal sacrifices were in the beginning to give up something to God, but also to show that a spotless sacrifice can cover a multitude of sins.
If an animal that is spotless can have God forgive many sins, so much more when his Son came to Earth and was the Spotless Sacrifice to end all Sacrifices.

God created us in His image and so he feels the same emotions we do. As for the church question, God doesn't "need" those places of worship, but He had Moses build the tabernacle, because people needed a visible place to worship God, what we call church today wasn't like the early church, they all met in people's homes.
