in ancient times, these people's ancestors worshipped Moloch, Baal, and a pantheon of evil; the name has changed, but the underlying spilling of blood, which is a demonic purpose in itself, has not.
Did you read the article? They have found an ancient family burial site here; setting aside that very crucial detail, we cannot ascribe our current values to a society that existed 3000 years ago.

Yes, yes i did. i was attempting to use this piece of archeological information in order to throw into sharp relief that even early man did not practice the savagery all too common in today's world.
The people about whose ancestors I spoke are, naturally, the practitioners of the religion of peace.
the Talmud teaches that everywhere you look, there is something to see; i was using this article to see other things.
