Voodoo....doodoo

I was going to rep you up if you hadn't written "doodoo."

Why do so many Westerners have a problem with animal sacrifice? Every ancient culture practiced it, and we kill millions upon millions of animals a day. It especially drives me psycho when modern Hindus, who have been influenced by ascetic religions like Jainism, claim that sacrifice is contrary to Hinduism.

In the "ROMA" realm in Second Life, the "Emperor" decreed that animations of animal sacrifice weren't permitted. Seriously!? ANIMATIONS! Don't you realize sacrifice was a HUGE segment of the ancient Roman economy!?

BAH!

rep me up!

I was just being sarcastic LOL

I like the documentaries and wish I could find more info on the subject really.

Maybe, but watching the video, it seemed so inhumane. Too bad their spirits don't demand acts of kindness instead of death and torture.

even Christians symbolically drink the blood of a man because it represents a life-force

The demands of people's stomachs are much crueler.
