With rare exceptions most peoples around the world practiced human sacrifice at some point.

The biggest ceremonial achievement of Jesus was to cause the practice of human sacrifice to end everywhere.

Please don’t put Jesus and cultural relativism in the same post

You probably don’t realize but your attempt to equate us with them mixed with Christian betterment of culture demonstrates how weak we are culturally

Newsflash for you respectfully submitted

We are better than the Mayans

They were superstitious savage Maniacs who built stacked blocks to worship elemental Gods and butcher their own people upon

Whoop tee do

No written phonetic language

No wheel

And so forth

To compare that with Egypt or Athens or Rome is absurd. And wishful thinking fomented by those who ...like I said earlier...want to diminish western culture as nothing more than a long history of social injustice

Now if you wish to compare the Mayan to say other Indian tribes that really went nowhere or to Bantu culture

Then have at it

That doesn't square with Roe v. Wade...Baal worship writ large.
