The Love of Blood

Christianity is based on the presupposition that "God requires Blood for the remission of sins." (Hebrews 9:22-28). Jesus is regarded as the "final sacrifice" to end the practice of slaughtering sheep and pouring their Blood over the alter in the most holy of holy places. He is the "Lamb of God" which taketh away the "sin" of the world (John 1:29). and if i don’t believe in "God’s only begotten son" i "stand condemned" (John 3:16-18) because his Blood washes away my "sins" and makes me white as snow...If i do not accept the Blood of Jesus, your theology says i will burn in hell for all eternity. Even Jesus himself is quoted as saying that "if you do not drink my Blood and eat my flesh you will have no part of my kingdom."(although i believe he was being ficicious and metaphorical here) My question is, (keeping in mind the biblical definition of Agape): If "God" is (Agape) Love, WHY did he require the shedding of innocent blood for the remission of "sins" in the first place (see Leviticus)? Does UNCONDITIONAL Love require a blood sacrifice for the remission of "sins"? Does SELF-LESS Love require a blood sacrifice for the remission of "sins"? If you love someone do you demand that they sacrifice something for you? Doesn’t the concept of demanding a sacrifice seem conditional and selfish to you? Why must you equate Love with sacrifice? If "God" is Love, WHY does he require blood for the remission of "sins"? and further more, If "God" is Love, WHY would he create a law that would condemn and judge people as sinners anyways? If you voluntarily, unconditionally and self-lessly Love someone do you hand them an impossible list of rules to follow and in addition expect them to sacrifice something they Love in order to atone for the rules they inevitably will break and threaten them with death, hell and damnation if they fail? If Yahway the god of the Torah was not the devil himself i don’t know who is. I believe that Jesus saw thru this bull-shit and offered himself as a scapegoat to free his people from an oppressive and usurious religion...and thru misinterpretation of his words combined with Pauls desperate and feeble attempts justify the law of the Torah with the revolutionary message of Love that Jesus proclaimed, Christians have created a new temple from the ruins of the old and turned the revolution that Jesus started into the new orthedoxy, once again making it all about BLOOD...i don’t think our Salvation depends on blood of Jesus any more than it depended on the blood of sheep and goats...I believe our salvation as humans depends on LOVE and nothing but...If we do not learn to LOVE unconditionally and self-lessly we will continue to persecute and kill each other in the name of "God".
