ROFLMAO!!!

I don’t get it.

How did they know if the sacrifices were working or really, why did they THINK they were working?

Christians pray for several reasons. Yes, to possibly cure a loved one or for the safety of loved ones etc.

But ALSO to get closer to God and for me personally it brings me a certain serenity.

How does killing a gazillion people in horrible ways accomplish that!?! :)

Yes, I’ve always wondered who the first person was who said “hmmm, the sun has risen just fine for my whole life, but maybe it won’t rise tomorrow unless we feed it blood”.

Most likely it was just some ruler who wanted to exert dominance over some people group. It became institutionalized and grew from there as more and more people’s positions became dependent on it.
