Not done in the desert. Exodus 12:25 It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service
The next two verses also explain why it is done. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you: What mean ye by this service? that ye shall say: It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, for that He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.'
Past event. Not a future one.
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9


The first Passover, not the remembrance of it.
Why did the death angel pass over the Jews.The next two verses also explain why it is done. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you: What mean ye by this service? that ye shall say: It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, for that He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.'

Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9

The first Passover was not a remembrance, it was the night of the death angel.
And why did God want blood on the doorposts?The bible says because the blood was on the doorposts.
Which is more important the Law, or the Lawgiver? the clay or the potter?It also says we are to observe this holiday forever, and to eat unleavened bread for seven days. This seems less interesting to you for some reason.
No, the first sacrifice was an act of defiance. The following ones were a remembrance.
Bible does not say.And why did God want blood on the doorposts?
God gave the law. He demanded that it be followed. What more do I need to know?Which is more important the Law, or the Lawgiver? the clay or the potter?
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9

If you would, could you explain this statement with some scripture for reference?
Sure it does, you just choose not to hear it. The doorway to salvation is paved with the blood of the perfect lamb. You do not need the New Testament to understand this concept.Bible does not say.
Brute animals know to pull the plow when the whip is applied, God expects a little more from us who are made in God's image. Is it better to worship the celebration of an event, or to celebrate the reason for the event?God gave the law. He demanded that it be followed. What more do I need to know?
Sure
Genesis 46 has Joseph telling his brothers: “When Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’ you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ that you may live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is loathsome to the Egyptians.
The Hebrews were showing that they were no longer slaves. They were no longer bound by the Egyptians attitudes towards sheep and shepherds.
It's not in my bible. You are free to believe what's in yours, of course.Sure it does, you just choose not to hear it.
Actually, God told us what he wants. You've ignored my posts on the subject however.Brute animals know to pull the plow when the whip is applied, God expects a little more from us who are made in God's image.
