In the earlier days of the internet, there was an application called Paltalk. I don't know if it still exists . . . haven't checked. I "parked" there for quite some time. I became acquainted with the constant battling that the "Christians" had with the "Atheists," there. I vividly remember a man who had a master's degree who taught at a junior college in New Mexico. His "handle" was Walks the Desert. He was an atheist. He made an accusation about the "Christian God" that rattled me to the very core . . . that I still haven't fully recovered from. I believe it has application here. He said that the Christian God is a blood thirsty God who has a fixation upon blood and the shedding thereof. He cited the Law of Moses and sacrifice. He cited the death of His Son in agony and blood. He cited the institution of the "communion" having to do with remembering and commemorating the shedding of blood. These things gave him evidence that he could not worship such a being. I knew of no person who could counter this man's argument and observations. He taught religion at that junior college. The question, then, that I pose is, "Why the shedding of so much blood?" What or who does such sacrifices appease? Does someone always have to shed their blood and make a sacrifice for each world? What is significant about the shedding and sacrificing of blood? These questions, in my opinion, hold the keys as to the question being considered in this string.
