What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The beginning of atonement is the sense of its necessity.
It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood.
The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito.
Our responsibility is to learn to draw upon the power of the Atonement. Otherwise, we walk through mortality relying solely on our own strength.
It does not, surely, require such torrents of blood to satisfy any reasonable man that nothing can be a more impious presumption than for either side to think themselves entitled to count the Almighty as an ally in such a pitiful display of human passion.
It wouldn't be 'True Blood' if somebody didn't die.
The glories of our blood and state, Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate, Death lays his icy hand on kings. Scepter and crown must tumble down, And, in the dust, be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
The blood of Jesus Christ can cover a multitude of sins, it seems to me.
Nature has left this tincture in the blood, That all men would be tyrants if they could.
I cannot bear the responsibility for one drop of blood.
