Well, you know how all these small Gods love child sacrifices....

We have been, as a species, religiously inspired psychopathic barbarians for most of our existence, or at least since the invention of religion and language. We may be changing for the better; however it's a change coming rather too slowly for my liking. But what does that matter?

For a more individual take on just how awful we really are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice)

Which mentions a present resurgence in Uganda and some other parts of Africa. (This is the Uganda with anti-gay laws and other horrors. But they can turn a blind eye to ritual child murder.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice_in_Uganda (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice_in_Uganda)

Which to my mind implies Uganda is the Nation-State equivalent of Gilles de Rais.

And in print dealing with this historical evil in other places:

"The Highest Altar" Patrick Tierney (Bloomsbury - 1989)
"The Sacred Executioner - Human Sacrifice and the Legacy of Guilt." Hyam Maccoby. (Thames and Hudson - 1982)

To be perfectly candid, I'm surprised any parent lets their kids out without an armed guard sometimes. It's information like this which sometimes renders me sympathetic to the American love of guns for personal protection, and then I recall I live in England, which used to be more of a comfort than it is now.

And a Happy Christmas to you too.
