why does Christ's crucifixion nullify all that? Because he died for all sins it's suddenly wrong to pour libation or offer sacrifices to God to show appreciation?

What right do Christians have to condemn and debase the rituals of sacrifice and other "traditions" as "pagan" when they are present in their own scriptures?--I think that is what I was getting at when I asked the question. That's the kind of thing that may feel like a "contradiction" to some (e.g. Christians condemning Voodoo practioners when there is animal sacrifice in the Bible).

Or is that condemnation another Christian act that isn't sanctioned by the Bible?

I've noticed that several people beginning questions with, "well God didn't REALLY mean for people to act that way..." So what did God mean? And why are so many people getting it "wrong"? Free will? Too many cooks in(terpreting) the soup/Bible?
