I mean, sacrificing animals makes a bit more sense but still...
Seriously, so they believe their "gods" will grant them something if they take someone's life in stupid rituals?
What type of gods would they be...
Same place all such convictions are pulled from.
Many people in developed countries also believe that if you recite certain passage in your head, you will get help from some "god". Those same people also believe that if you don't believe their god exists, he will burn you forever. Is that so different?
The only difference is in the action that must be performed to get the favor of said "god".
