When Yahweh stayed the hand of Abraham from the human sacrifice he had at first ordered...was he condemning the practice? Or does Yahweh think it is Good and Just in some instances?

Did Jesus break the law when he sacrificed himself to propitiate himself? Or is the taboo against human sacrifice merely a suggestion?

And why does human sacrifice work? Funny way to make rain??

If someone is a serial killer, does human sacrifice purify him? How does that work? Who is the human being sacrificed to? And why does that thing require that we kill someone because bad people have killed someone? Why don't we just catch the bad person and stop him from hurting and killing?? How does more killing cleanse the bad person??

If killing innocent people is bad (say Olson), then is killing more innocent people in human sacrifice "better".

Why are gods kind to us if we hurt ourselves as much as we possibly can by killing what we love and by destroying and taking what we most value--LIFE??

I guess offering a cookie to Zeus would be unlikely to motivate him, huh!? But why not? What is wrong with a cookie offered in love?!
