Jepthah the village idiot sacrificing his own child to an even more idiotic god.

Jepthah, in his prayer to yahweh for a military victory in the bloody wars of the
Israelites, promises a human sacrifice to yahweh and this ‘god’ accepts the
deal. In other words yahweh approves. Since Christians insist that this so-
called god knows everything from beginning to end and even the intentions of
the heart, he knew exactly what was being offered and kept his end of the
bargain. This bloody god could have refused this barbaric vow that he knew
would end with the brutal death of a child but that is not the case.

It was the custom for a servant to greet the master of the house upon his return
but the daughter is the first to exit the house and an all knowing god would
have known that beforehand. He gets his victory and sacrifices his only
daughter. Oddly enough, his daughter is upset not over being killed, but over
dying a virgin. Human sacrifice was not a surprise to her or apparently to any
of the other family members just as in the case of abraham and his son. This
goofy religious nutjob cuts the throat of his own child to slowly bleed while she
is roasted alive to please this demon god. Christians insist that their god would
never condone human sacrifice but this is clear evidence to refute that claim. If
god knows the intention of the heart as the bible claims, then he would have
known if Jepthah intended for an animal to be sacrificed and would have forbid
him to kill his child. Did this maniac god tell Jepthah not to kill his child? NO,
the bible says that god accepted his vow of human sacrifice. Judges 11:30 to
40) What kind of parent would serve such a despicable barbaric god?

We should not be surprised since over and over in the bible it speaks of god
loving the aroma of burning flesh in anticipation of eating his own creation.
Does anyone else see a problem with a ‘god’ insisting on the destruction of
even animals he created let alone HUMANS just for his delight in smelling
them burn! The method of these sacrifices were almost to cruel to describe. The
priests would bind the poor animal or human then slit their throats to bleed
them while they slowly roasted. All this in honor to the tribal god yahweh.

The command in Leviticus 18:21 against sacrificing children to Moloch comes

out not as a ban on child sacrifice, but a ban on the worship of foreign deities.
This is confirmed by Exodus 13:11 to 16, where Yahweh asserts his ownership
of all first born males, both human and animal. What saves the humans from
sacrifice is the substitution of additional animal sacrifices, but that was not
always so.
Actually, human sacrifice was seen as something so holy and powerful, that
even the sacrifices to other gods was recognized as legitimate when practiced
by gentiles. In 2 Kings chapter 3 is a desciption of a war against Moab. When
the Isrealites surrounded the capitol of Moab, the Moab king fearing defeat
sacrificed his son to his god on the city walls [2 Kings 3:26-27]. On seeing this
the Isrealites fled in terror because the Moabite god Chemosh having received a
sacrifice would surely defeat them.

Many people, especially first born sons, were only saved by the substitution
sacrifices of additional livestock. [Note: Wives, children and livestock had the
same legal status. There is also the hint that the purpose of circumcision was
either as a substitution for the sacrifice of the entire baby boy, or a marker that
substitution sacrifices had been made. 1 Samual 18:24 to 27 on the use of
foreskins as a way to track the numbers of kills. The circumcision would let
god, or the priests rather, know not to take that particular child. Is this sick or
what?

This repulsive human sacrificial tradition may have gone back a long long
way. The jewish heresy of christianity only makes sense if these sacrifices
were still going on at the times of the christianity's origins. Whether Jesus was
a man before he was a god; or was killed on a tree or was crucified does not
matter. This all makes no sense as an act of redemption unless there was a
human sacrificial rite to begin with and end with the so-called son of god!

Well, this sure explains the violence which has been created by fanatics, Jews,
Christians and Moslems. What sprang from and fed by centuries of ritual
murder would only be expected to create more hate and death.
