The children sacrificed for oil are actual people present, alive and active. There is no debate about their status.
Abortion is another issue and has nothing to do with this question.
You're just babbling now, trying to establish yourself as some sort of superior moral authority, and failing; that's normal for sociopaths who don't really have any moral sensibility and can't fake it well. You can't pretend your silly conflations of 'human sacrifice' isn't the same I used for your abortion fetish and your craving for lots of dead babies.
I don’t even understand how you were able to jump to this from this conversation. It’s amazing how people can twist a subject to be about what they want. I believe the term in the rules here is “thread hijacking”
Please stay on subject or leave. There are plenty of abortion threads you can go crazy in. This has nothing to do with that.
But abortion is akin to human sacrifice for the reasons I listed.
You apparently only want to talk about human sacrifice when mentioning the name of God.
My bad.
The fact that you can’t understand the difference between religious sacrifice and splashing blood on the alter in order for a deity to forgive you and a medical procedure is beyond me. I can’t compare the two because they don’t even meet on the same playing field
When has anyone ever said “I need to have an abortion so that god will forgive mankind of sin”?
The two are drastically not related
Moving on
But the Bible never uses human blood to forgive sins EXCEPT from God in the flesh himself.
As for animal sacrifice, it is said that the life is in the blood, and sin brings death. Therefore, it was a good learning tool for man to help him understand this through animal sacrifice, as well as making man understand that humans were not animals. In short, sin brings death and destruction and animal sacrifice drive home this point. Also, there is a difference between humanity and the animal kingdom, a difference that often gets blurred for those devoid of faith in a God who made mankind in his own image, and therefore of higher value.
For those who don't believe in a God, you are left with the notion that mankind is nothing more than a glorified animals. There are then two trains of thought with this type of thinking. You can either believe that all animals should have the rights humans do or you believe that humans should be treated like animals.
Which do you fall under? I suppose you could believe that humans are superior cuz you really like yourself and, therefore, are so much better.

I already explained I was giving my opinion only. I guess one could call it "in general"..not specifically to you yourself.Correct.

I apologize. I took what you said as being directed at me since the reply included my direct quote. It also seemed you were saying I wouldn’t get any answers because of how you perceived i viewed religious people. If you wish to help me understand what you meant I’m happy to listen m.
And furthermore....I am a big animal lover. So any religion that insists an innocent animal be killed is NOT something I am ok with just to appease a bloodthirsty god. Nope.
From the morons who THINK they know what God wants.And furthermore....I am a big animal lover. So any religion that insists an innocent animal be killed is NOT something I am ok with just to appease a bloodthirsty god. Nope.
I apologize for taking your response aggressively. In my defense, I think most of the responses given on this site are meant with the intention to be combative
I absolutely respect your stance on that. A lot of the answers here are suggestion these sacrifices are “symbolic of the culture”. But what I don’t understand is isn’t the god the one who designs and creates the culture? If god didn’t make the culture, where did it come from?
I've read that American Indians thanked the animal they killed for feeding them and ate the liver and heart raw believing it made them more animal like in strength- what I can't figure is why the omnipresent never made it to the west to inform Indians they were wrong in their beliefs but instead relied on a bunch of arrogant idiots calling themselves special (Manifest Destiny) to savagely destroy those who didn't believe they way they did and had the audacity to call Indians savages. I wonder how many of the arrogant idiots ever thanked a cow or pig or bear they butchered for feeding them?
I’m sorry, I was referring to Jesus. He was sent to die for our sins. I believed that to be the saving point for Christians. It wasn’t until Jesus gave his life that Christianity was born.
