Summary
The offering is never for the god's benefit. Gods don't need pens. Gods don't need lambs, or the grain, or the wine poured into dirt. The offering is a transaction- worshippers buying the illusion of safety, and the god accepts because the acceptance is what keeps them coming back. Keep accepting and they keep giving. Keep taking the small things and eventually they'll give you the big things. Their harvest. Their firstborn.
Their throat.
Brendon Park is a patient man. That's the worst thing about him.
