I have counseled many clients, and many don't even know God much less scripture, therefore the premise that they are mimicing the blood of Jesus is a moot point. I do agree that it is more about control and giving emotional pain an outlet.

I don't mean "consciously" replacing the blood of Jesus; just in a deceived demonic sense. I tend to believe that the problem is demonic in nature.
