"According to the Law, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." - Hebrews 9:22

I remember when I was a child, I saw a sticky liquid slowly coming from out of a tree. I was with my grandfather and asked him, "what is that?". He said, it's sap, the blood of the tree. Since God can't forgive (not as well as you or I, not without something enduring pain and death), would the blood of a tree be enough to get people into heaven? Is the tree excluded because it doesn't feel pain, or is there some other reason?

Makes me wonder, if God could have ordered the chopping down of a tree, maybe God could have taken it easy on Jesus and not require he be slaughtered. I could also wonder what is in blood that God needs to have splashed on an altar? White blood cells? Iron? If God could have waited until the 22nd century, we'd be able to create sinless bone marrow from stem cells and produce as much white blood cells as God requires. No miracle virgins needed. There was also the option of teaching mankind sciences and biology so they could have done this in 100,000 BC, as I assume this is a better alternative to forcing a girl into slavery to bear a child and then slaughtering her son so God doesn't stay eternally pissed off.

This must have really sucked for those already roasting in the flames of hell. The people born after Jesus got to party every night and fuck as many strangers as they wanted, as long as they survived until they were old. When they were 80 and no longer had a body or face for partying, they repented for their sins and were forgiven and allowed into heaven. What a bitter pill for those who didn't have the luxury of surviving just long enough, or were born just too damn early in history.
