http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodletting_rituals_in_Maya_culture
The "heart sacrifices" and "bloodletting rituals" of the Maya culture are the most brutal that I know of.
"Blood letting ritual"
In a typical bloodletting ritual, rulers cut or pierced their ears, cheeks, tongues and genitals. Whichever body part the Maya drew blood from, there was a specific reason for each body part. For example, a man would pierce his penis and let the blood drip on some paper. The reason for this is because it symbolized human fertility.
Taking the heart:
The Maya sometimes conducted what was known as a "heart sacrifice"; they would cut open the chest of a person and physically remove the heart. The Maya would sometimes use knives made of obsidian glass. It was often very sharp, and was substantially more efficient in cutting body parts or skin, whichever was being cut in order to fulfill the sacrifice.

i'm fantastically certain that the Jewish people have continually been God's people, so i'm no longer certain about the god you're describing. it ought to were a god that the Jews adapted earlier (they adapted many gods for the length of the Bible era relying on the position they lived). The area about it being a bull makes me area of the golden calf idol, yet i'm no longer certain. become the ritual displaying something it truly is practiced now, or earlier? with slightly of success some different person will understand a touch better than I do. I become hoping I helped for now, although! solid success on searching something else of your guidance. Merry Christmas, via the way! :)

Young men and women shave their heads and submit to verbal and physical persecution in advance of being sent to fight and die for the benefit of wealthy insulated people who would never sacrifice anything for anyone else, but claim the right to have other be sacrificed for them.
Goes on every day.

Voting in the US is top of my list. No matter who you vote for your money always seem to be spent on killing people half a world away in the name of a good American Christian God.
