Where in Article I, Section 8, or anywhere else in the Constitution, is Congress granted the power to prohibit the practice of human sacrifice as a religious ritual?
From your previous post:
Definitions of sophistry on the Web:
•Sophism: a deliberately invalid argument displaying ingenuity in reasoning in the hope of deceiving someone
•An argument that seems plausible, but is fallacious or misleading, especially one devised deliberately to be so; The art of using deceptive speech or writing; Cunning or trickery
•A seemingly plausible, but fallacious and devious, argumentation.
Until now, I wondered why you “argue” in the manner that you do. I now realize that you are indeed a sophist. Hell, you probably have a degree in Sophistry!
Besides its inherent deceitfulness, the flaw of sophism(philosophically speaking), is the presumption that one can know The Good; i.e., possess wisdom.
You sir, are no Socrates. Like all socialists, you are merely a sanctimonious fraud with the force of arms behind you.
What's your point? Congress is not granted that power, and thus laws concerning murder (including human sacrifice) of nearly everyone except federal agents, and individuals murdered "on the high seas" or in the District of Columbia, are the purview of state governments.
This is why 18 USC 1111(b) specifies the scope of the penalty for murder as "Within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States."
