This must have seemed like a good idea to our ancestors, but it's hard for us today to imagine actually using such a cup.

I couldn’t imagine doing this myself, but if the situation has bad enough, I also know that it wouldn’t necessarily be above consideration if there were no other options.

Your post runneth over. You posted off the top of your head.

Maybe this will help you get your head on straight: RuPaul in New Hampshire: ‘This country was founded by a bunch of men wearing wigs’

The Q&A is funny.

There was a recent show on TV, can’t remember the channel—that documented a lot of bones & cadavears that dated from the Roman invasion of England that seemed to corroborate Roman reports of human sacrifice among the druids. these were not just the earlier reported bog men but also bones found in caves that look like they’d been split open and eaten.

something not generally appreciated today is that human sacrifice was practiced at one time by all peoples around the globe.

why did it end?

imho the credit can legitimately go to Jesus.

In general, you are correct.

As little far back as 300 years ago, British nobility practiced cannibalism.

If they can’t use the long standardized BC then I can’t be bothered to consider them to be anything other than butt wipes.

You’ll notice that the majority of those on the left have a view that humans are resources of the state. They are the ones, more than the right, who promote organ donation or fetal tissue transplants.

Don’t be surprised, if the left does win the cultural war, to see everything that shocks us about primitive man return.

That does include cannibalism or using human bones as decorations or tools.

So, they went to all that trouble just to drink water? I don’t think so. Now we know when, or before when, booze was invented.

You do realize, of course, the parallels between Christianity, cannibalism, and human sacrifice?

Cannibalism is barely covered by a thin veneer of “civilization”.
