Way to apply your value system to other cultures. That is what we anthropologists call ethnocentrism, it is the twin to racism.

I myself am a relativist and try to view cultures from their own perspective. For example, did you know that blood sacrifice was believed to be NEEDED. Without it the sun would not rise, the stars would turn to voracious monsters and they would all be killed. Seems like a good reason to offer up sacrifices to me.

Please take your judgmental, ethnocentric crap elsewhere. It is offensive and ill informed. For example as someone that studies the Maya I can tell you that particular interpretation of how ball game sacrifice was carried out it far from accepted or supported by the archaeological evidence.

Ethnocentrism is ugly. People that openly embrace it are just as ugly.
