This sacrifice, propitiated or satisfied God's just wrath so that He could be (at the same time) both just, and the Justifier.

This statement is at the core of my objections to Christian dogma. I find it impossible to believe that an omniscient and omnipotent being would require a blood sacrifice to satisfy his own "just wrath". I find it very easy to believe that primitive humans could convince themselves that such a sacrifice was necessary.

It seems, like so many religious elements, very human and not divine at all. One more reason to believe that God was created in Man's image, rather than the other way around.
