I
was fundamentally believing Torah to be without errors re. its
commandments for the last 11 years - first as a devout Christian for six
years. 2007 I started doing my best to keep the commandments of the
Books of Moses and rejected Christianity. For a while (and until
recently) I had beliefs very similar to the Karaites.
Later on I have started to study more information that scrutinizes what I did believe.
Some of what I have learned recently:
The
whole concept that the non-dimensional Creator, who is non-physical,
would require/need any physical sacrifice is a concept that some
Israelites borrowed from pagan polytheistic religions.
The
Creator has NOT commanded us/given us the right to kill any sapient
beings, including animals, which He created. The Creator wants us to
take care of and love all of His sapients being.
Why
would anyone ever assume (as many religious texts do) that the Creator
created life and wants man to kill what He has created?

The
research on which these Yale University-lectures are based on, is
evidence of many errors, contradictions and late redactions of the
Torah:

That MT and DSS are similar doesn't prove anything. The redactions of the Torah took place before this.
The Bible-text itself contains many contradictions.
