So tearing up that temple wasn't a sin?
No clue what you are talking about. Only time Jesus lost his cool, that I can remember, was when he got mad in (cant remember the name of the city) and smashed a few street vendors tables and yelled at people haha. Don't ask me for scripture cause I don't have time to research it atm. Got a hot date in few mins. 
Getting mad is not a sin though. It is a natural emotion, long as you don't let it control your every action.

So it's common sense not to sacrifice a dove as an offering to sin so that the mother of the child can be cleansed?
To me the concept of ritual sacrifice is abhorrent. It's a disgusting practice, and I'm glad the church got rid of it. But I also think the idea of eating Jesus's flesh and drinking his blood is just as foul. Yet hundreds of millions of churches hold the Communion ritual every single week.
How long until "common sense" tells you to stop eating Jesus?

I remember that's also when he said people weren't allowed to live 1,000 years anymore. And that people weren't allowed to have sex with Angels either.
Two of my saddest of Jehovah's changes. :-(

But don't you find it...I don't know...off putting that a being that is supposed to be perfect would institute a covenant and then give a BETTER one later? Why would he put the imperfect one in place to begin with?

I think you misunderstand the phrase "common sense". It is used to mean knowledge that pretty much everyone shares. For instance, it is common sense not to stick your hand into a fire. It is common sense not to jump off a building. You keep asserting, however, that deep religious concepts held only by Christianity are "common sense." Could you perhaps find another way of saying what you mean?
The Bible never says that Mary Magdalene was the woman being stoned... it was/is however a western tradition that it was her...
That is not at all what we say... Jesus is both human and divine... Saying Jesus was not human is Docetism... a heresy...

Leviticus (God speaking to Moses, long after the flood.)
1:1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
1:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
1:3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
1:4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
1:5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
You need to study the Bible a little more before you make claims upon it.

Friends,
That made an interesting reading, which was not aware of earlier.
However find Dharmic religions /ways/paths are different as it takes the journey to be personal and does not judge anyone by his/her actions as the individual himself/herself has to realise them and keep correcting them and finally drop all action altogether.
Action here means actions backed by desires. The earth revolves that is action but it is happening naturally, similarly when humans do something naturally then that action is not out of any desire.

O.K.
Leviticus
1:7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: 1:8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: 1:9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of "a sweet savour unto the LORD".
1:13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
1:17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
3:5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
4:21 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.

And...
2 Kings..
10:24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
10:25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
2 Chronicles...
7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
29:24 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
29:27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

Fine, lets look at Rabbinical study, since these were Hebrew teachings and not Christian.
"These were wholly animal, and the victims were wholly consumed. They might be from the herd or the flock, or in cases of poverty birds might be substituted. The offerings acceptable were: (a) young bullocks; (b) rams or goats of the first year; (c) turtle-doves or young pigeons. These animals were to be free from all disease or blemish. They were to be brought to the door of the tabernacle, and the offerer was to kill them on the north side of the altar (if a burnt offering), except in the public sacrifices, when the priest put the victims to death, being assisted on occasion by the Levites (II Chron. xxix. 34). The blood was then sprinkled around the altar. The victim, if a large animal, was flayed and divided; the pieces being placed above the wood on the altar, the skin only being left to the priest. If the offering was a bird a similar operation was performed, except that the victim was not entirely divided. The fire which consumed the offerings was never allowed to go out, since they were slowly consumed; and the several kinds of sacrifice furnished constant material for the flames. Every morning the ashes were conveyed by the priest to a clean place outside the camp (Ex. xxix. 38-42; Lev. i., vi. 8-13, ix. 12-14; Num. xv.)."
