Religious rants

Speakkng of repentence my mom was visited by some what i presume to be cultists who said jesus has returned his name is ahnsahnghong https://ahnsahnghong.com/wp-content/themes/watv/images/about_father.jpg This aint no jesus. The tribulation hasnt even happened yet.

Also while listening to some pastors preach it got me thinking if the bible talks about how there are human sacrifices and stuff thats wicked. How do atheists who dont believe im god explain the various tribes that perform human sacrifices? Like the mayans, the incas different tribes performing child sacrifice. That island where rockefeller came up with the idea of federal reserve they also had a tribe that used to be there that performed child sacrifice. Isnt that strange? Do all these groups just decide one day that killing ur own flesh and blood makes sense?

I mean most human sacrifices occurred in the same region so one of the tribes probably did it to try and "appease" their "gods" leading to a coincidence where sacrificing that person got them what they wanted other tribes could've saw it and spread the word to nearby regions not only that but in the old testament god supposedly wanted animal sacrifices so that could've eventually evolved into human sacrifices through misinterpretations and mistranslations these are just my guesses since the only way to really know would be to talk to someone like an ancient Aztec or be there when it first happened but scientists still have tons of theories for the origins of human sacrifices

Well human sacrifices could be found in many regions from mesoamerica to west africa and egypt. I do know there is mention of child sacrifice with the dark trinity. The video i was watching once going over child sacrifice mentioned how civilizations in the past would have things such as adopting children from others to use as sacrifice if you didnt have ur own and usimg contraptions where you put the child on an altar of a humanoid bull and it would launch the child into its mouth and into a burning pit.

The Aztecs would not sacrifice their own people unless it was a criminal or something. They mostly captured people in warfare for sacrifice. Sacrifice had a practical purpose aswell. It was a food source. We don't think about this now but energy management is very important. The surplus of energy meat provides is too much to live without in harsh environments. The Americas didn't have large domestic animals until Europeans came. That's because bovine, sheep, goat, chickens, etc. came from around the fertile crescent and spread East to West. That's why human sacrifice declined much earlier in the Eurasian super continent(Europe, Middle east, Central Asia, far east Asia, and northern Africa.) After a sacrifice the Aztec would cook the limbs with chili and tomato sauces then eat. The head would be cleaned to use the skull as an ornament then the torso was given to their zoo animals. If you take away our societal conditioning meats meat your body will digest it just like a steak. I mostly know about Aztec sacrifice but different places had different parameters. Fyi animal sacrifices in the past were also eaten. It's really just a more involved way of giving thanks to your deities aka saying grace.

Human sacrifice was practiced in many human societies beginning in prehistoric times. By the Iron Age (1st millennium BCE), with the associated developments in religion (the Axial Age), human sacrifice was becoming less common throughout Africa, Europe, and Asia, and came to be looked down upon as barbaric during classical antiquity. In the Americas, however, human sacrifice continued to be practiced, by some, to varying degrees until the European colonization of the Americas. Human sacrifice is the act of killing one or more humans as part of a ritual, which is usually intended to please or appease gods, a human ruler, public or jurisdictional demands for justice by capital punishment, an authoritative/priestly figure or spirits of dead ancestors or as a retainer sacrifice, wherein a monarch's servants are killed in order for them to continue to serve their master in the next life. The instances closest to "ritual killing" aka human sacrifices in the criminal history of modern society would be pathological serial killers such as the Zodiac Killer, and mass suicides with a doomsday cult background, such as the Peoples Temple, the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, the Order of the Solar Temple or the Heaven's Gate incidents.

I was thinking of saying some savage ass shit. But I'm too lazy to wright today. I'll instead say that all the horny weabuus should be sacrificed to appease the anime gods...wait I feel like I've said something similar to sacrificing weabuus to the gods already? Maybe, I don't remember Lol

"How do atheists who dont believe im god explain the various tribes that perform human sacrifices?" Why do atheists have to explain the practices, actions, and ignorance of religions past? If anything, loss of human life over religion is one of the main driving factors for people turning to atheism.

@verucassault See that's where ya done goofed. You brought logic to an illogical debate. Godspeed!

And a simple unresearched thought about sacrifices. When it comes to humans, it could be as simple as resource management. If your village has an overpopulated society where famine is common. Eating the dead or dying might seem like a way to survive. I've heard in the past some cultures ate their dead as a way to become one with the deceased's spirit. If you consumed them, you became them in essence. Lastly, I don't agree with Ghost's comment about eating human meat has no consequences to the health of the cannibal. There was a recent study that showed a village of modern day cannibals obtaining a rare brain disease that could only be transferred between people through consuming the brain tissue of another. Not to mention many viruses specific to people would thrive naturally in abundance in a cannibalistic society. Forget Mad Cow or Swine Flu when the regular flu will do you in instead.
