"The gods need you," explains David Carrasco, professor of religious history at Harvard. "They depend on human life for their own existence, there's this kind of reciprocity." In sacrifice, he adds, the people are becoming like gods.

It's interesting that the gods always need someone else's blood.

"It's interesting that the gods always need someone else's blood."

It's even more interesting, in fact glorious, that Jesus offers His own Blood!
