'Just forgive' is an idotic concept in its entirety, and you can't possibly find it morally accetable. We have the power to let loose or pardon killers on death row if we so choose. Does the prisoner, assuming he really is guilty, learn anything from his crime if he is forgiven and let loose? Hopefully, but probably not; the lesson he probably learns is 'I can get away with murder/rape/anything!'
The 'blood sacrifice' was the method in which Jesus taught God's message of love and selflessness to humanity. Those who understood the lesson learned from it, those who did not understand did not learn.
