   The twelve days of Xmas actually start on Xmas day, but this is a   
   countdown to Xmas showing why Xmas is as senseless as it is stupid as a   
   Christian death-cult ritual.   
      
   Today's question is: why would a loving god demand a blood sacrifice?   
   This is in keeping with the Old Testament psychotic god who is one of the   
   most blood-thirsty gods in all of invention, but it makes no sense   
   whatsoever in the context of the New Testament!  If someone who loves you   
   demanded your blood for no reason, would you consider that loving - or   
   normal even?  No!   
      
   The very fact that this god is a throwback to the brutal savagery of the   
   OT is more than reason enough to ditch this whole idea as nothing more   
   than primitive, superstitious nonsense born of nothing more than   
   ignorance.
