Correct. So the way the story goes is that once Adam/Eve introduced sin into the world (yeah, I know, the whole tree thing, but do creations really "love" a creator if they aren't willing to follow one simple rule and also can they love - or chose to love - if they aren't fully free to choose ..... hence the tree) ..... anyway, Jews then gave blood sacrifices for however many generations in atonement for sins and also followed SO many rules .... many biblical and many traditional. Jesus was, according to the New Testament, the ultimate blood sacrifice that cannot be broken by anything assuming one accepts Him. I'm not really preaching anything but instead just citing history and the reason religion says he came on a death mission versus waving his hand to say peace-out screw you mother f'ers I'm outta here ..... regardless, everybody has to choose so I guess people just choose whatever seems/feels right/good then they see what happens in the end ...... again, no peaching here, just citing history and the basic tenants of mainstream religion ...... good luck ..... may the odds be ever in your favor.
