Seems kinda strange to me that God will only accept me if I, or someone on my behalf, offers him a sacrifice to attone for my sins.
This is especially so when I think of so many enlightened Eastern cultures where 'blood sacrifices' of any kind are considered an abbomonation.
Isn't doing good deeds and asking for forgiveness from God- and from God alone: my creator, the omniscient, the all-knowing, all forgiving, most merciful- enough? My thought was that having an enlightened spirit with good deeds is more valuable to God than any form of 'blood sacrifice', which from my reading of Leviticus 5:11-13 says that blood isn't even necessary even during the sacrificing olden-days.
