Moral Human Sacrif ice

What’s really important to understand when looking at this myth and its morals (human sacrifice) is that to the people that followed this moral compass did not view these stories as a myth but as religion and fact. Much like a modern Christian believes that Christ could walk on water, they believed that these gods truly existed and that they truly gave up their lives so that humans could thrive. Giving their own lives wasn’t only considered something one must do but a privilege, to die in the name something so much greater than yourself. And what is one life in the name of an entire society? An entire planet? An entire universe? Who are we to judge? Would you sacrifice your life in the name of billions of others? Would it be selfish to not do so?
