actually cannibalism and human sacrifice were pretty common among american indians in both north and south america.

that said, human sacrifice was common in europe before christianity. as well human sacrifice was common in oceana africa and asia before christianity.

the abolition of official human sacrifice throughout the world is probably the most significant thing that Jesus did.

I believe European bones from around 7000 years ago have been found with proof of cannibalism. All our ancestors probably chowed down on someone in the ancient past.

And then the good folk of Spain and nearby countries decided that heresy was a terrible crime and invented roasting people alive, otherwise called the Inquisition. I’m sure Jesus would have had some words on that.

“that said, human sacrifice was common in europe before christianity.”

Actually, human sacrifice and cannibalism was done in the name of Christianity.

The realities of history are being denied and ignored.
