It is actually legal if you think about it. Not all cultures believe
in it, but you just have to go to the supermarket, and buy a few cutts

take! In the old testament it was one of the best things you could
do. Human sacrifice is never good though!

Are ya sure?

Well, normally it's considered bad form, but for you, bobandcarole,
we'd happily make an exception. ;)

Not good for the one sacrificed. ;) Yet, that is keeping it in the
context that sacrifice means death. There are other human sacrifices.
Spirit and soul come to mind that leave human life in tact with
personality changes. Not always bad.

My belief is that in Christianity, one is a human sacrifice to accept
Christ, in Paganism the same but to your own personal deity. Sacrifice
is an offering with the knowledge it is life altering. A commitment
that comes with lifestyle changes based on who the sacrifice is to.
The Old ways that meant altering human life for another we assume.
Possibly, to Druids or others it meant ceremonial offering a human to
sacrifice mundane life to become sacred or in the Priest/ess hood.
