A few thousand years ago, "unenlightened" pagans sacrificed their children on big stone alters to the gods of fire,wind,the moon, etc.
Today, the enlightened form of child sacrifice takes place in an abortion clinic, to the "god of convenience".
I said this a few years ago here. God had no loss of words or action about the people He described as "offering their children in the fire to the god Molech."
Then, as now, it was some innocent's death (specifically, a child I'm responsible for) for my 'freedom' of lifestyle.
