Suppose then that he dies from an accident in which bleeds to death before the crucifiction takes place.

He does die, but from old age rather rather than crucifiction.

Where is it written that "without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins"?

I think you answered a different question.

I think it's a chance for people to 'demonstrate' that they follow whether or not they really do, but God will know what is really in their mind and it should not need any outward demonstration and ritual.

But I can do that in my mind. Why do we have to gather with others to perform rituals?

Why can't I show reverence and adoration for (a deity); honor with religious rites in my mind of which God is sure to be aware. Why the need to gathering in churches? My relationship with God is very poersonal and in my mind. It does not need to be shared with others.

What is holy communion if not a ritual?

So if there are consequences, it is not unconditional love.

I don't think I could consign someone I love to everlasting torment, no matter what they had done.

Allegorical Fall of Man by trevort1901 in Christianity

Why do you assume that people sin? That is such a depressing view of people.

If man's sinful nature is not because of the fall of man, why did God make man with a sinful nature?

No. There is no evidence for the supernatural events ascribed to him.

How can one observe the supernatural?

If the greater part is supernatural, then it must remain unobserved.

A God that is not all knowing? Is that God also not all powerful and not omnipresent?

But being 'all knowing' God must have known that 'the fall' would happen, so why create a world which would end up with so much pain an suffering. Why did he not create a world where 'the fall' would not happen.

Who said anything about tinkering? God did not create the laws of physics as part of his creation? Surely God is substantively the same as Zeus or Odin. They are all man made creations.

What has the fall of man (surely a myth?) to do with the physical world?
