All sorts of bells go rinkling of in my head right now. Are we being prepared for a meeting with some all mighty, highly intelligent and supreme alien being, being the, say architect of human buildingblocks?

My first post here however had nothing to do with the subject of "human sacrifice", but it does make an interesting point.

Certainly there are other deities in this pantheon which did not which might seem more reflective of the concerns that you've raised. And certainly other religions have it though In the OT story of course no human sacrafice transpires in the Abraham and Isaac storyDwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022414933969854363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567830.post-1122463353583963722005-07-27T06:22:00.000-05:002005-07-27T06:22:00.000-05:00Dwight,When it comes to christians and their way o...Dwight,<BR/><BR/>When it comes to christians and their way of looking at a religion like the old northern european ones, I think that most of them do not seem to realize that there are ancient icelandic sagas that most definitely describe the Old Ways from an northern (not cristian, but pagan) point of view.

They may explain some traits and behaviors typically associated with certain genders, but I think you're treating them as more solid, as boundaries, as fixed.

In no way am I demeaning femininity. I just think women should be feminine, not men. For men to be feminine is a perversion of masculinity, just as masculinity is a perversion of femininity. Men should be masculine, and women should be feminine, and both are dignified.
