There was nothing wrong with Aztec human sacrifice. Only those with a puritan morality think it was wrong
The punishment for performing human sacrifice was to be hanged, drawn, and quatered.
>"Human sacrifice is wrong. We need to kill the entire population."
To the Aztecs, human sacrifice was okay because they well and truly believed in their afterlife, which just makes them more honest than Christians if anything
>>18600119Completely different mindset. The sacrifices and rites had to be completed - what they believed was considered irrelevent. Moctezuma knew he wasn’t a god - he got tired, hungry, sleepy, had to shit, and he told Cortez this. But whether he believed he was a god was irrelevant to the Aztec religion, he has particular rites that he had to perform, and perform well.
>>18600110God Himself put His wrath upon demon worshipping pagans like this and eradicated them from the face of the earth
>>18600110I think aztec religion is the coolest shit ever and I want nothing more than to bring it back. I'm serious.
>>18600361Capture a crackhead at the park and do it to it
>>18600110>Murdering people for religion is okay. Stupid ass wetback.
It was wrong.Morality is objective.Its true that the aztecs believed they were doing good by sacrificing, but that doesn't matter, it was and still is wrong.
>>18600167God also supports human sacrifice. The Israelites ritually sacrificed their enemies.
>>18600110Ragebait used to be believable
>>18600110Wrong, divine law is against polytheism, idolatry and murder which are all things this activity requires
>>18600110They used to sacrifice the best looking people and now we're left with Mexcrement. Not a good idea.
>>18600115yes, unironically. what do you do with an entire race and culture devoted to evil and ritual slaughter? where children are flayed alive to appease some corn god? destroying them is a mercy, to them and to the rest of the world. the only thing spain did wrong was not finishing the job and thinking the savages could be redeemed
>>18600167we need to categorize paganism differently from outright satanism. the paganism of europe was largely benign to the point it was even incorporated into christianity; but the paganism of the canaanites or the aztecs was abhorrent and nothing of them should remain

>>18600115Well they certainly didn't ALL die. Have you seen a mexican?
>>18603330you fear the noselord. you do not notice the noselord. stop noticing him
>>18600119If by "afterlife" you mean their body and lifeforce being given to Huitzilopochtli as payment then sure
>>18603325Shalom Shlomo
Logical conclusion of an atheist worldview.
>>18603783I denounce Dawkins, atheism and Scientology are the only beliefs worse than the Abrahamic religions
>>18603783How? If I don’t worship a deity why can’t I see human sacrifice as immoral?
>>18603851By what standard?
>>18603866https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_ethics
>>18603878Secular “ethics”
>>18601072Abrahamics have an important myth (the binding of Isaac) about how you aren't allowed to sacrifice people anymore.Interestingly, Greeks had something similar with Iphigenia.
