If that were the case, then why bring up the requirement of blood atonement being required as a prerequisite for even the possibility of obtaining
God's forgiveness? That reminds me of Pat Robertson, to put it nicely.
He's saying that it's going to cost lives to make things right and if we _do_ get it right than we'll be forgiven (for screwing it up in the first place.) Think in more secular terms. And I still haven't heard anyone provide an explanation on how this statement can be interpreted as Moore _wanting_ these deaths to occur. In fact the use of the word "sadly" would indicate just the opposite.
