If we want a yardstick,
for how far we have travelled from our Gods…
We need only consider the once widespread custom
of sacrificing a first-born child…
It hardly seems credible from this vantage,
irrespective of its counter productivity in an era of high infant-mortality.
What can these religions have been thinking?
That God was greater than mankind?
Heaven forbid!
It certainly beggars belief!

I wasn’t the firstborn, but so glad this custom died!

Yes, it’s a difficult one to get one’s head around… 😉
