Yeah, Kent. Looks like the ten commandments are irrelevant now, you stupid lying bitch?

Oh, of course, makes perfect sense to worship him then. More blood for the blood god!

And they completely miss the real message of the story which is when you screw up (Cain getting jealous and killing Abel), you need to acknowledge it, take responsibility for it, and not try to weasel out ("Am I my brother's keeper?").
It's the same message in the Adam and Eve story - he blamed her, she blamed the serpent, and they all got bitchslapped by YHWH for not owning up and saying sorry.
Bearing responsibility for your actions is a good thing for all humans to practice.
Of course, the stupid fundies manage to miss all the subtexts in Genesis and get obsessed by literalism and outdated dogma.

Blood for the blood god? Geez Kent, let us write the jokes. You just keep being the straight man. We'll handle the punch lines.

I read somewhere (can't find the link sorry) that it was more to do with trying to stamp out the worship of the Semitic mother goddess Asherah (the consort of Yahweh). Traditionally blood/meat sacrifices were made to the Sky Father while grain was given to the Earth Mother. Thus Cain's offering of his work was rejected over the portion of Abel's flock.
A very old morality tale made to solidify the power of the priests.

YOUR good works, Hovind? Where?
What if your god is the number one sinner to begin with?

I never expected one of them to admit that theirs is a death cult.

Lovely. I sure wish I was stupid enough to feel safe and special believing in a fictional god out for blood. Yeeeees, siree.

KENT! KENT! I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT WE WANTED YOU TO COME OUT AND ADMIT ALL ALONG! THANK YOU!
Finally. The God of Love charade is over. They dropped the mask they use to tempt fence-sitters, agnostics, and the ignorant. The true face is revealed.
Blood for the Blood God.
