food offerings and blood sacrifice, related?

[David Dalton]

I have the message below on my Salmon on the Thorns web
page, and I would like to know if you participate in
ritual food offerings, and if so do you consider them
a time-delayed thinly-veiled form of blood sacrifice
or not, and if not, why not?

1. no form of blood sacrifice including of humans and of
non-humans. This message against blood sacrifice extends
to any, if any, forms of food offerings that do constitute
a thinly-veiled form of time-delayed (no magickal/spiritual
intent at time of slaughter but added later, but effectively
time-delayed blood sacrifice) blood sacrifice and perhaps
not all forms of food offerings do (maybe none do).
Similarly, if ritual slaughter, e.g. Jewish ritual slaughter,
is a thinly-veiled form of blood sacrifice I am against that,
but I do not know all the details of that so do not know if
it is a thinly veiled form of blood sacrifice or not. It
also should be discussed whether Christian communion is a
time-delayed veiled form of blood sacrifice.

(I have also posted about the Jewish ritual slaughter
and Christian communion, separately, to talk.religion.misc
and alt.religion and other groups.)
