actually before christianity spread the jewish taboo against human sacrifice and male and female temple prostitution--this sort of thing was the norm throughout the world.

In homer's story of Illiad -- Agammemnon sacrifices his daughter to the gods of ambition. The fallout from that sacrifice goes on through several generations.

The practice of human sacrifice and male and female temple prostitution were tightly bound to dynastic disentegration. Part of the reason that Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years was to wait for these practices to take their toll on the caananites.

When cortez came to the new world he was appalled not just by human sacrifice practiced by Aztecs but also by the way the Aztec priests would "act up" right in front of he and his men.

They felt a bit of the same righteous wrath in their swords as Joshua and his men.

For the last century or so people have been digging up celtic human sacrifices from the bogs of Europe.

And yet according to the PC and Multicultural thugs all cultures are equally valid and deserving of respect right?

This just sickens me terribly. I wonder if the fact that these religions are coming back here in the US sounds the death toll for our dear country.

Another example of why I despise third world countries and the ignorant vermin they produce.

And I thought Hinduism was a religion of peace. Wonder what I was confuding it with.
