Thank you for making it clear that you are full of hatred. All is relative, true animals were scarified 2500 years ago in the Jewish temple, but keep in mind that it should be compared to human sacrifice in other cultures at the time. In the far East and China they were scarifying all the servants of the master (burying them alive) with his death,........ in Rome they were crucifying, or killing men and woman slaves / gladiators for fun and pleasure......... the Greeks / Spartans were scarifying new born's if not born perfect, Prometheus was a example of human sacrifice......., similar traditions were all over the world including Europe were people were sacrificed with their hand tied behind their backs and dumped in marshes for a more prosperous year or in the Americas young boys and girls (virgins of course) were sacrificed by carving their hearth out when still alive to bring rains and prosperity. At least the Jews were the first who forbid human sacrifices by the act of Abraham and made a huge leap forward in substituting human sacrifice with domesticated animals. All other civilization at that time sacrificed humans in one way or another, not to mention pleasure killings cheered by the citizenship way into the middle ages like burning to the stick, impaling, wheel tracking (by cutting you in pieces to fit the wheel) Camel tearing of humans into pieces in the name of Allah and the list goes one ........ and all those practices were still around less than 500 to 600 years ago. So wonder what your ancestors were cheering 1000 years ago at a time that the Jews valued humans and their life as the most sacred. No need to respond with more dribble filled with hatred disguised as "intellectual" response

2MARS$.... And some religions/cults still enjoy the old ways >>>. Judge orders man's leg cut off January 7, 2003 By Goddy Ikeh Lagos: A Muslim court in northern Nigeria has ordered that a 45-year-old man's leg be amputated as punishment for doing the same to his wife. The Upper Sharia in the town of Bauchi made the order against Adamu Hussaini Maidoya, who cut off the right leg of his wife, Amina. He accused her of infidelity, after "over exposing" herself to a doctor to get an injection. Judge Alhaji Abdu Yerima ordered that the convict's right leg be amputated at the knee and that the person or doctor who executes the sentence should not administer anaesthetic or painkillers. The judge quoted relevant sections of the Holy Quran and the Hadith to support his judgment and gave the convict 30 days to file an appeal. "He must experience similar pain his wife went through when he cut off her right leg from the knee,'' the judge ruled. Shortly before sentencing Amina Hussaini, who just been discharged from the Bauchi specialist hospital, told the court how on August 21 2002 her husband accused her of infidelity, overpowered her and cut her right leg off at the knee with a sharp machete. Amina, who had been married to the accused for about 20 years and has eight children, including four-month-old twins, prayed for justice. Maidoya, who wept profusely during the trial, pleaded guilty but pleaded for forgiveness, saying his act was destined by God. Maidoya, a trader, also told newsmen he was neither insane nor under the influence of alcohol when he cut off his wife's leg. - Independent Foreign Service themercury.co.za
