Got that backwards, Trig. Try again.

And we, ingrateful as we are, look at him as who committed the 'first murder?' God would not dare ask sacrifice for anything righteous, god wished for blood, and blood was given; only when it was Abel's blood, did he ever turn an eye. Those outside of God's immediate 'kingdom' are condemned to be mere tools to his appeasement? Foolishness!

Yes, when Abel sacrificed animals as demanded, God was happy. When Cain was jealous because God didn't like his sacrifice of grain and fruit -- compared to the sweet, sweet scent of burning animal flesh that Abel offered -- he murdered Abel. By so doing, he not only committed murder, but he also deprived God of the sweet, sweet scent of burning animal flesh that He so enjoys.
Quote:
God is a damnable savior; Cain is the true salvation of mankind, the true voice of man, the true image of goodness! A man who would sacrifice all for his fellow brothers and sisters, a man who would accept the burden of 'evil' simply that those after him might not!
How can we condemn Cain? How can we call him 'murderer?'

Did you miss the "killing out of jealousy" part, Trig?
