and shed innocent blood. The blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idol......And the land was polluted with the blood. Psalm 106:35-38

A Response to a post-Modernist/woke post on Reddit over largest known single day CHILD SACRIFICE on planet earth. [name of Reddit poster will be withheld].
Original Post-Modernist Post:
"Though it seems vile on its surface,
I’m going to put aside my modern perspective and look at this in a more detached way.
In the case of an upcoming famine because of massive crop failure, the children are likely going to die anyway. A slow and painful death that will scar the working adults and also encourage them to waste what little food they do have trying to save their children..jpg)

I can see how the leaders might take a decision to kill off some extra mouths to feed, prioritizing the fully grown workers so that there is more chance of saving the civilization as a whole.
The ceremonial religious sacrifice part of it could also serve a purpose, to make those parents feel as if their loss had more meaning, possibly some control over the situation too. Certainly slightly less traumatic than a kill squad going door to door.
Anyway I’m just trying to offer a different perspective, feel free to assume people from radically different times and cultures are simply wrong and evil, and that we are so much more civilized now without any introspection in to how ****** up things still are."
My Response/Observation:
I'm going to try looking at this without a post-modernist/woke/PC lens. Let's view through a Biblical lens.
1) Apparently long before cars, planes and air conditioners, (supposedly causing man-made "global warming") there were droughts. Long before the Climate Change Cult there was" weather" that went through cycles. LIKE TODAY.
So now, instead of venerating idols (as our pagan ancestors did) we are more sophisticated in our paganistic veneration of mother earth, we use charts and words like "science" and are willing to sacrifice our standard of living to it and even listen to some who call for "population control" in the name of it (which means, if these people ever fully get their way, someone among us must be sacrificed to appease the mother earth goddess).And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:23
2) As our ancestors turned from God along their paths from Babel they turned to False gods as their hearts were darkened. (Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God,.jpg)
neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21) to the point that they sacrificed their own children before lifeless pagan deities. Today, there is nothing new. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9

We too sacrifice our children on the Altar of Self via abortion [snuffing out beating hearts that haven't yet sinned] and even march for it DEMANDING it as a right---despite claiming how enlightened we are today. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9
3) The very fact we have people on cyberspace trying to justify or downplay the evil of killing their own children with the argument that they would probably die anyway speaks volumes of the age of Enlightened Man.
