Christians and Jews: why do you suppose that God demands the sacrifice of blood? Why does an omnipotent being need blood to be spilt for forgiveness? [Spirituality & Religion]

Like how does ripping a dove in half and splattering it's blood on an altar help you cleanse your sin?

Why is the sacrifice and burning of innocent animals a "special gift" to god and a "pleasing aroma" ?

Does god like bbq?

@Pikachu Right? If you think about it, how would sacrificing an animal you don't care about, help you atone for a sin.

I've always thought that you would try to be a better person to atone for something horrible you did. It doesn't make any sense to give something else pain for your own misgiving 🤷‍♀️

Of course, I don't approve of doing something to yourself but the irrationality of sacrifice doesn't make sense.
