Lets see on the insane side we have:
1. Cain is the son of Satan or the serpent and thus is (a) bad; (b) rightfully rejected by god; and © understandably a murderer all dubiously supported by Genesis genealogy, Hebrews, I John's comment about those who love being the children of god and those that don't being the sons of Satan, and Luke's genealogy of Joseph.
2. Blood sacrifice is required because Eve had sex with the Serpent and Adam and therefore all sacrifices to god much be made in blood because semen is blood together with the idea that god sacrificed animals to make clothes for Adam and Eve supported by innuendo in Genesis.
3. Cain was spared so his decedents could found other races though those races apparently are slated to die in Noah's flood later.
On the saner side we have:
1. Cain didn't provide his very best and Abel did.
2. The lesson is we should be our brothers' keepers.
3. Envy is a bad thing.
4. It was a lesson that blood is the only sacrifice god accepts with no explanation for the blood lust provided.
5. God knew Cain was bad from the beginning because he's god.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
