I have read about this before. It does seem to have stuck the Maya in the Human Sacrifice level of "civilization" and contributed to their eventual collapse. It puts a political aspect of the culture in competition with the politically correct environmental explaination of the collapse. Worldwide cultures seem to have advanced to this point and, failing to move beyond it, slide back into the mire.

Doesn't Mormon theology claim that there was a great war in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus arrived?

America practices 'human sacrifice' in abortuaries all across the land. The god to whom the sacrfifice of an individual human life is offered is the 'self', the selfish soul who will not be bothered to give life support when liberalism has made it 'legal' to destroy the needy. Where does it stop? What final decline is key to ending this evil?
