I sometimes think one of the subtexts of history is the war against human sacrifice. Adds a nuance to Abraham’s story. And Cortez, for that matter.

Israel was supposed to be a key part of that struggle but succumbed to it to the point that several kings sacrificed their own sons on the altar, and the queen of the devil worshippers wound up queen of Israel.
