I didn't say sacrifice, I said human sacrifice. And if you don't understand the difference between a man murdering a captive for divination or good fortune (as was the Druidic practice) and the self-sacrifice of a loving God to redeem said man, you haven't the theological or philosophical discernment to continue this conversation.

Sacrifice is sacrifice. At least the Druids didn't ritually EAT their sacrifice, willing or not.

Didn't God toy with Abraham in his attempt to make Abraham sacrifice his son (by Sarah, not the firstborn of the concubine)?
