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?

Ive never had to burn any animal fat (except when I fuck up on the grill.) But there are multiple references to "god smelled the sweetness of the sacrifice"
It could be that when burned the ancient people found the smell pleasing. And sense people often modle their gods after themselves the natural outgrowth was written down.

@AceWarbringer God says that he prefers our obedience to sacrificing. An example would be if I don't help a neighbor but go and worship, give to church, and ask God to help me. I think He prefers us to love people instead of sacrificing to him as it is hypocritical if we are not obedient to His word..

@AceWarbringer the only reason it says he smelled the sweetness of the sacrifice is because obviously the person making it is a believer or he would not be making it to begin with, therefore it is pleasing to God that his creation is in agreement with him and not in opposition, therefore it is very pleasing.
