You small minded, uneducated halfwits are so fucking brainwashed. When the King Commanded his peasants to give the first-borns to God they were required to comply or die. It was a cruel demand from a cruel tyrant to a cruel god. His name was sometimes Yahweh and sometimes Moloch. If a mothet even whimpered during the act, she would be killed too. The point of the sacrifice was for stupid shit like rain or wealth for the kingdom or to win a war against neighbors.
Litertally no different than the breath people waste today "praying". But, brainwashed people do stupid shit. Forgive them for they know not what they do.
