What are your thoughts on animal sacrifice? Is it something you are against? Why? As long as it is carried out humanely, do you think it is okay for people to worship their diety(s) how they choose? Isn't animal sacrifice included in freedom of worship?
Just a note before anyone mentions Satanism, vast majority of Satanists DO NOT practice animal sacrifice. Neither do Wiccans. Some religions such as Santeria and Vodoun, however, do. Even some Hebrews practiced animal sacrifice back in the day. Usually, the animal is killed humanely, the blood offered to their diety(s), and the meat is cooked and eaten (this may vary with tradition, but the animal is almost always killed humanely). How different is that from say, killing your own chicken and cleaning and cooking it yourself? They just add the aspect of religious worship to it.
No, this is not something I would choose to incorperate in my own religious beliefs, I was just curious to what others thoughts were.
