Why do you think god demands blood sacrifices and burnt offerings? [Spirituality & Religion]

Why does he want the blood splattered on the altar and the fat from around the organs and the large lobe of the liver and kidneys burnt?

Which religion are you speaking of? In my religion, blood is given as a gift or offering of respect.
@MorbidCynic

That'd be christianity. Well technically Judaism i suppose but it's all in the bible.
But the same question can be asked for any religion requiring blood sacrifices. I think there are lots of things you could offer respectfully
In my religion, sexual fluids or blood is a gift because it is your life force, therefore it is sacred. It’s easier for me to give blood when summoning one of my Demon-Gods lol @Pikachu
@MorbidCynic

So hork in a bowl, dude😆

That's your life's water.

Seems like requiring blood or "sexual fluids" is just done because it seems more impressive.
Hork?

No. Your blood keeps you alive and sexual fluids (representing life obviously) signify the origins of living itself. @Pikachu
@MorbidCynic

The moisture in your body keeps you alive too. In fact it's the source of your blood. Seems like spit or even a water sacrifice would be just as appropriate.

But it's cooler to do blood.
They don’t have the same meaning at all 🤷‍♀️ But go ahead and act like you know everything. @Pikachu
@MorbidCynic

Just applying logic to the belief system. You don't have to agree with it.
Obviously your rituals are meaningful to you.
You can not apply anything to a belief system that you know nothing about lol You don’t even know what God I follow to even try and apply logic. @Pikachu
@MorbidCynic

Ok, sorry for being insensitive.

@MorbidCynic Easier to give blood? It is good that you recognize them for what they truly are demon gods, If you had any idea how they truly feel about you, or what they have planned for you, you would run screaming for the only one that can save you from them.
You don’t know anything about my religion, so maybe you should keep your mouth shut. @Silverwings

@MorbidCynic They just love telling others what to believe. :(

@MorbidCynic As you wish, mam, but you need to know the truth.

@Sharon It is a Christians job to declare the truth, it is up to the individual as to what they choose to believe.
You’re funny. You should have considered a job in comedy instead. @Silverwings

@MorbidCynic Thanks but I do not find anything funny about this conversation.
What? I’m finding it hilarious actually. @Silverwings

Then why do they spend their time rejecting it and spreading lies instead?

@Sharon Example?

@Silverwings Everytime they assert their beliefs as indisputable proven fact but then fail to present their evidence when challenged.
