An interesting concept.  Apart from the Carthaginians who are now accepted as sacrificing their children to their gods, there isn't much evidence of it occurring, apart from what is described in the Old Testament of the Bible.   The Aztecs were separate, they only sacrificed willing, adults, not children.   Their view was that if people weren't willing to be sacrificed, then the Gods would ignore the prayers offered at the same time.   Indeed, for many years, the Spaniards were incensed by the Aztecs because their sacrifices seemed to imitate the Christian sacrament (which is, afterall, simply ritualised cannibalism).  The Aztecs didn't engage in Cannibalism, either. The Romans were interesting in that, yes, they engaged in barbaric "sport" to satisfy the blood lust of the general populace however, they never sacrificed humans for religious purposes.

What is even more interesting though, is that your reference to the Old Testament says that you are bullshitting when you say "all true Christians abhore the Old Testament in favour of the New," Moses.   Funny that.  Tell us, do you abore the 10 Commandments - which are the foundation, the cornerstone, even of Christian teaching and of course, are in the Old Testament?

What do you do, when you attend Church and your Pastor/Priest talks from the Old Testament, Moses?  Do you correct them or rush from the Church or suffer in silence, I wonder?   

Actually, the ancient South Americans would take their people up those steep steps to chop their heads off as a cure for their schizophrenia! Such 'ancient Hospitals' indeed via a society that had massive crops on every brain-screwing drug available besides Corn, Potato, etc.

Little wonder when some Shiny Spaniards appeared - they all got paranoid and fled into the wild.

The Roman's didn't sacrifice babies. They just killed them out of convenience. Like a late abortion.

The Incas practiced human sacrifice, especially at great festivals or royal funerals where retainers died to accompany the dead into the next life.[96] The Moche of Eastern Peru sacrificed teenagers en masse, as archaeologist Steve Bourget found when he uncovered the bones of 42 male adolescents in 1995.[97]

The study of the images seen in Moche art has enabled researchers to reconstruct the culture's most important ceremonial sequence, which began with ritual combat and culminated in the sacrifice of those defeated in battle. Dressed in fine clothes and adornments, armed warriors faced each other in ritual combat. In this hand-to-hand encounter the aim was to remove the opponent's headdress rather than kill him. The object of the combat was the provision of victims for sacrifice. The vanquished were stripped and bound, after which they were led in procession to the place of sacrifice. The captives are portrayed as strong and sexually potent. In the temple, the priests and priestesses would prepare the victims for sacrifice. The sacrificial methods employed varied, but at least one of the victims would be bled to death. His blood was offered to the principal deities in order to please and placate them.[98]

The Inca of Peru also made human sacrifices. As many as 4,000 servants, court officials, favorites, and concubines were killed upon the death of the Inca Huayna Capac in 1527, for example.[99] A number of mummies of sacrificed children have been recovered in the Inca regions of South America, an ancient practice known as qhapaq hucha. The Incas performed child sacrifices during or after important events, such as the death of the Sapa Inca (emperor) or during a famine.[97]

Oh gee the troll liar has deliberately lied once again (so what's new?)

You show your unintelligent lying character with the above.

if you were capable of honesty you would tell us how the Christians all believe that the law was finished / fulfilled by the crucifixion of Christ.

However you have repeatedly deliberately lied to us, you lack intelligence as you cannot comprehend the difference between law and commandments in a book.

you say you're knowledgeable, yet you choose to deliberately lie on a debate site?

Quote:


All books are written and authored by men / women, man is not infallible.

You simply read books in the light that the author intended them to be understood as.

As an example the N.T. is written by several men whose objectivity was to spread the word that Christ had died for the sins of mankind. So that is the way I understand it.

conversely:

The qur'an was authored by a thief liar pedophile rapist torturer and mass murderer muhammad.

It conveys the message that allah hates all non-believers, muslims are to rule the world, muslims are to oppress non believers, muslims can rape torture and murder people that allah hates.

That is precisely why today muslims are the global terrorist threat to mankind.

You stick with your lies and support for islamic terrorism forked tongue, I'm happy to know that I am on the opposite side of the fence to people like you.

Good news for dear Sonia.

Where are gandalf, and greggery, et al ???

Are they going to pile on to these racist judges ?


African moslems, less 'westernised' than Turkish moslems !

Yeah, sure!               

Its far better to have Turkey branded Muslims invading a country than to have North African branded Muslims invading a country.
Racism and truth.

@ Reply #6,

K,

Are some moslems, just people who are the devoted followers of a peaceful and tolerant faith ?

As in,  .....'They wouldn't urt a fly.'



That's a question.




K,

How can i distinguish the peaceful and tolerant followers of ISLAM,
from the followers of ISLAM who are latent, wanna-be homicidal maniacs ?

Are the peaceful and tolerant followers of ISLAM, tattooed with the words 'PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE' on their foreheads ???


That's another two questions.
