Answer 1

Religion itself is a sacrifice, when you sacrifice everything material that you possess, to believe and follow the god of your choice. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for us by dying on the cross. It was a supreme sacrifice.Thereafter there was and is absolutely no need or necessity to offer sacrifices, animal or other to apease a Living God.

Answer 2

Breadstuffs (like small cakes, biscuits, muffins or plain bread) and the occasional fruit, along with fruit juices or something like ale, mead, beer or wine are the norm in sacrificing to different gods.

Vegetables and harvest goods are also sacrificed for friendly passing souls on Samhain.

We don't do blood sacrifices, though:

An ye harm none, do what ye will."

Answer 3

yes, in my religion we offer an animal (usually a ram, at least in my place) as a sacrifice to clear us from our sins and we do it in the name of Allah, one and only ......... this sacrifice is called Kurban and is devided into 3 equal parts: 1/3 is given to those in need, 1/3 to our neighbours and family and 1/3 is kept for ourselves

Answer 4

Yes. Fasting is a type of sacrifice. Also the Mass is a sacrifice. Its not a goat of calf sacrifice, which i think is what your reffering to.

Answer 5

My religion does not demand sacrifice aside from a general selflessness and a spirit of charity.
