(in answer to the origin of animal sacrifice)

Yes, because coverings woven from grass or hemp or palm fronds or cotton or wool or bark or rushes or papyrus just won't do.
Nope, animals gotta die, which means that Jesus has to die.
Got it.
Potato Head is missing a huge chunk of Genesis. They wore leaves while in the garden, which means it was plentiful. Same with food. When their god kicked them out, they had to find another plentiful resource for food and clothing. Animals are the most sensible choice when vegetation was scarce, especially during off seasons.
Why did we need to cover our nakedness? When you think about it, it really is silly to wear clothes, since nobody has a body part that nobody else has. Yet for some reason there are certain parts of our body which are considered "dirty" and should be hidden from everyone else. It's even more silly when you read Genesis and realize that God intended us to walk around naked, but somehow we decided that nudity is "dirty" after eating from the Tree of Knowledge.
Animal sacrifice was about breeding, not clothing. In order to get the "perfect" livestock worthy of sacrifice, one first had to breed them to perfection.
So, basically, if one of your parents had a million dollars in debt, and died before paying it off, then both you and your siblings will have a million dollars in debt each? And if you don't pay that, each of your children will have a million dollars debt? And it will continue through the generations until someone with infinite money will pay off the combined trillions that the everyone has accumulated due to the fault of someone many generations back? Yeah, that's not how debt works.
Therefore Donald Fart shouldn't have been allowed to file for bankruptcy, and should have to make good an all his debts.
There's an extremely good reason why - in our electoral laws - someone who runs for political office here in Britain can't be declared bankrupt. [/Vlad Putain]
Also, Wool. Cotton. Bit of a non-sequitur there, Potato-brain.
Confused?
