Why we naturally HATE penal substitution

[Diserner]

• Where was the savage beating in Exodus 12 needed to 'atone' with a proper WRATH? They should be eating shredded lamb! With the blood splattered EVERYWHERE.

Very poor argument here. God does not do anything that goes beyond the pertinent symbolism, he is not unnecessarily cruel.

We have death, we have being burned up, we have the blood spattered, this is not 1 to 1 with Jesus, but representative.

We have death,

Yes, death was REQUIRED (wrath is never even suggested against the Lamb or Israel in the Passover).

we have being burned up,

'Burned up' is not the primary function of the lamb. The MOST IMPORTANT point is that the BLOOD must cover and protect God's people (the blood of the lamb marks them). The SECOND point is that the people are expected to eat all of the lamb ... the Lamb of God covers with His blood and nourishes us from the inside. Burning what remains simply removes what is HOLY from access by an undeserving word (as Jesus was removed when His work on earth was finished).

we have the blood spattered,

Not 'splattered' in any sense. Painted on the doorposts and lintels ... the gate, the covering, the marker where the Law will one day go. No one enters or leaves except through the BLOOD of the LAMB. That is not "wrath", that is GRACE!

this is not 1 to 1 with Jesus, but representative.

Yes, it is. Representative of Jesus the life giving savior, not Jesus the wrath absorbing sufferer.
