I believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, and suffered under Pontious Pilot. He was crucified, died and was buried. The third day he rose again from the dead, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

Actually a good question, as it is a question of logic Christianity cannot overcome.

Tigeress, are you a vegitarian? It's like saying a prayer before a meal. Sacrificing an animal to GOD is a way to show worship and gratitude. The meat is shared amongst neighbors and consumed.

it depends what country you lived in and what religion you followed most people answer from the point of view of being a jew when they clearly are not jewish, or do not live in that area of influence before and during the life of jesus , jews followed the law layed down by judaism , and that included jesus , after jesus died then the christians decided to form their own religion. so really i am not sure where you live but it would not have been christian, probably a celtic or roman influenced religion

The Israelites killed men to make their crops grow. There was a famine that ran for three straight years. King David made his inquiries, and the LORD answered, "It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites."
So the king called the Gibeonites in and asked them what he could do to make them whole again. They didn't want any gold or silver from Saul's estate. Instead they said, "The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel, let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul."
So the king took the two sons of Rizpah and the five sons of Michal, which they bore unto Saul, and delivered them to the Gibeonites. They hanged them on the hill before the LORD and were put to death in the beginning of the barley harvest. And after David took the bones of the hanged men and buried them with the bones of Saul and Jonathan, "God was intreated for the land."

LDS scriptures explain some of what happened before the Bible and before the Earth.

This was NOT a new radical way of thinking, these "golden rule " ideas were prevalant long before Christianity came upon the scene.

What people were these "golden rule" ideas prevalent amongst? Also, did anyone ever get sacrificed for their belief in these "golden rules"?

Nonsense. He did not come to do away with the laws but to fulfill them. Atleast that's what is written.

I agree with DreGod07 about Jesus having to fulfill the laws.
In regards to crystalonyx comment about the "golden rule" and it being "prevalant long before Christianity came upon the scene". It is written (Romans 2:15)"(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written in their hearts, their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)" So yes, these laws have existed before Christianity came on the scene because God wrote the law in the hearts of men and women, Jew and gentile.
