IN EGYPT THEY TRIED TO DRY OUT THEIR DEAD BECAUSE SO LONG AS GRANDPA'S BODY HAD BLOOD IN HIM HIS SPIRIT WAS LINGERING AROUND BEING JUDGEMENTAL
NUMEROUS CAVES AND FISSURES AND MOUNTAIN STREAMS WERE PEGGED AS ENTRANCES TO THE UNDERWORLD AND LIFEBLOOD FROM AN ANIMAL SACRIFICE COULD BE SPILLED IN A POOL TO ATTRACT THE SHADES OF THE DEAD
OF COURSE YOU COULD ALSO HAVE YOUR TEMPLE BUILT NEXT TO A HERO'S TOMB OR VICE VERSA AND JUST POUR ONE OUT FOR ACHILLES, GREEK STYLE
LIFEBLOOD WAS SIMILARLY USED FOR RITUAL PURIFICATION
SIN LEAVES DEATH RESIDUE, SPRINKLE BLOOD ON RITUALLY UNCLEAN OBJECT AND IT WIPES THE DEATH AWAY
IN CHRISTIANITY THERE IS A BIG EMPHASIS AGAINST THE USURPATION OF POWER THAT IS NOT GIVEN YOU
KILLING THE KING TO MAKE YOURSELF KING, SUBVERTING THE ESTABLISHED ORDER AND HIERARCHY
BECAUSE OF THAT THE CONSUMPTION OF LIFEBLOOD IS A PRETTY BIG PROHIBITION IN CHRISTIANITY
AND I DON'T MEAN LIKE BLUTWURST, I MEAN LIKE THE VAMPIREPILL ON FIT WHERE GUYS DRINK CATTLE BLOOD BY THE GALLON FOR MAD GAINS
THE REASON WHY THE SAME PROHIBITIONS FAIL IN THE CASE OF THE FLESH AND BLOOD OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST IS BECAUSE HE IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE
WE HAVE LIFE IN US, FROM HIM
SO ITS NOT A USURPATION OF THE LIFE FORCE OF ANOTHER LIVING BEING THAT PUTS US IN AN ADVERSARIAL RELATION TO CREATION
AND KOSHER/HALAL SLAUGHTER ARE JEWISH DEVELOPMENTS OF "HOW TO GET LIFEBLOOD OUT OF AN ANIMAL IN SOME SORT OF THE MOST RITUALLY PURE WAY"
THEY COULD JUST DO WHAT WE DO WHEN WE DRESS A BUCK WITH A BUCKET UNDER THE CARCASS, BUT BECAUSE THEYRE AUTISTIC ABOUT PURITY LAWS AND THEY PRETTY CALLOUSLY PUT THEMSELVES AT SUCH A HEIGHT ABOVE THE REAT OF CREATION SO AS TO SET UP AN ADVERSARIAL AND PREDATORY RELATIONSHIP AGAIN, THEY'D RATHER MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF PURIFICATION THEY HAVE TO DO AT COST OF THE ANIMAL SUFFERING
