Actually, the Catholic Priest Bartolome De Las Casas said in 1556, that it exhibited more how much they LOVED their ‘god’ and in this way were willing to show great respect. His spin on it was that it showed how enamored with their deities, and not how little they cared for the little ones. Uhmnnnn.

“His spin on it was that it showed how enamored with their deities,”

They “worshiped” these gods to GET something - for themselves.

Pure idolatry.

Whatever nonsense this is supposed to mean, it was the Catholic Church that converted 9 million Aztecs and other tribes to Christianity.

Post #3: Christians of the Middle Ages similarly perverted religion. What could be more perverse than to interpret the teachings of Jesus Christ as a command to torture and kill--and what couuld be a greater blasphemy?

Muslims who interpret the will of God as a command to murder, torture, rape, enslave, and blow up innocent people commit equally hideous perversions of God's will and equally ignominious blasphemy.

I am a profoundly religious man; however, anyone who will can clearly see the evil that can easily reult from the perversion of religion and the perverse interpretation of God's will.
