Its seems were stuck on the scapegoat/sacrifice bit. The idea that if its a scapegoat then nothing is relied on the one in which the scapegoat is for. Thus the one being scapegoated doesn't care for anything else but said action. Jesus constantly said that at the end we would be judged for actions. He told of what actions we should adhere to( though many Christians don't follow these principles, it doesn't mean Jesus didn't state them). His sacrifice, not scapegoating, is a necessary action to bring about a revelation or change in us, if that's how we see it. You live your life the best way and most morally right way you can but i doubt you follow the expectations of Jesus' principles.
Now as for blood, I ask what science says about blood, what have we as the ones with the blood concluded about the blood?
I have done everything, sinned in thought and action. I cant change that or continually promise to stop doing that. I would be a smug liar. But this sacrifice, this love, perpetuates through my reason to exercise the fact that its not over because i can't do it but that its possible because he did. A life devoted to him and reflection of him because i believe in his love. Now do you find Jesus principles wrong? Give all to the poor, turn the cheek, forgive, and love, love everything. Which is not moral?
His actions change our actions.
His love shapes your life or his forgiveness and mercy soothes your curiosity.
