A reminder of ancient past, present in today’s societies.
In the times of Abraham, some 4000 years ago; sacrificing children was common. However, Abraham did not follow their trend, he did not sacrifice his son. Yes, it was common practice in the times of Abraham, 4000 years ago, to sacrifice children.
Abraham gave us faith and stopped those barbaric ways. He was announcing Jesus, the one sacrifice that would stop so much bloodshed and barbaric behavior.
However, in America, those practices were still performed, thousands of years after Abraham had renounce to them. I remember reading in High School a book narrated by Bernal Diaz del Castillo, in which he narrated what Christopher Columbus found when they arrived to the Americas just 500 years ago.
So, in the Americas, the practice of killing children was very much alive. In America, they had not heard of Abraham, not even Jesus Christ. 500 years ago they were living in the historical past of the times of Abraham, sacrificing children, as it was a common practice in the world 4000 years ago. So, indeed, America was a land trapped in time, trapped in the past. They, Americans, the Mayans and Aztecs, were living in the past, practicing a religion which consisted in sacrificing children to please their gods.
One would think that the Abrahamic faith, 4000 years ago, is that which allowed us to evolve to be less savage than the contemporaries of his times. But, have we really changed?
Are humans less beasts than the people that lived in the times of Abraham, or later on in the times of the Mayans and Aztecs?
Have we really changed?
I think that those ancient religions that sacrificed little children to quench the thirst of those ancient deities is alive and well. You just have to read the statistical number of the current sacrifice of children now a days to discover that those barbaric practices are still alive and far stronger than before.
We have exterminated one thousand five hundred million children thus far in the “pyramids” of our current civilization by offering children to abortion. Yes, 1,500,000,000 children, and 70,000,000 alone in the USA have been sacrificed in the last one hundred years to the gods of “economic prosperity.”
When I see those pyramids, I cannot avoid thinking that there is an evil religion worldwide which is thirsty for the blood of innocent children as we speak. When I see a dollar bill and the pyramid, I am reminded of those barbaric beliefs.
Are we, twenty first century humans, less barbaric than the Mayans and Aztecs; or are we far worse?
Is humanity under the spell of an alien being called Satan?
Why do we exterminate our children willingly thinking it’s for the best of all?
I bet you the Mayans and Aztecs felt the same way pro-abortion people feel. They think it’s the right thing to do. I ask myself: wouldn’t you call that an evil spell, humanity bewitched by an alien being who has pleasure seeing how we kill each other?
Lord, have mercy. Don’t let us get used to it. Let us repudiate the killing of children as Abraham did.
