Any religious text, and I don't care what, that demands sacrifice (animal/ human/ alien..) TO ME is not the word of God. Period.

How old are you, twelve?

You decide what is and what is not the Word of G-d? Or maybe you decide what is the Word of G-d for you and I decide what is the Word of G-d for me, and that way there is no objective religious truth at all.

Go back to your commune, Bible-hating hippie.

While I'm sure this would be a very popular view in our modern "pop" culture, it reflects a poverty of thought that doesn't understand human nature, our separation of God as a result of the present state of that nature, and the cost of healing that rift. I love animals as much as anyone, but realize that: 1 - The resumption of these sacrifices have no standing in the eyes of God. 2- Animal sacrifice should not be viewed from the perspective of God's apathy towards his creatures, but of his tremendous patience towards man's misdeeds. "For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." -Hosea 6:6
