Does sacrificing an animal actually do anything?

Anything 'real'? Most probably not. Don't underestimate morale and belief though.

Only if everybody in Rome is acting perfectly in accordance with all of the religious laws, and the sacrifice and accompanying ritual are all performed with no mistakes whatsoever.

I'm a big fan of the ant theory. Why would god care about some fucking goats? How would you react if ants started worshipping you and offered you other random bugs in sacrifice?

You offer your ram to God so he can keep the universe running.

YES, IT TERMINATES THE LIFE OF AN INNOCENT BEING.

Go ask /x/

>killing cows
Absolutely barbaric desu

The sacrifice has little to do with any God its devoted to. Rather, on death the energy within a creature is released and can be harnessed towards a goal. Mass murder can achieve a similar effect if one is skilled enough.

Life is valuable thus killing a living thing for a god shows respect and praise to them because you are willing to give up a life for your deity.

The more important the god the more animals killed, if animals are seen as worthless then humans are used instead.

ritual sacrifice is the theme of satanism. the facade of love, kindness, and righteousness is to trick the sheep to slaughter.

was equated with the Carthaginian god Ba'al Hammon, to whom children were sacrificed, and to Yahweh, whose Sabbath was first referred to as Saturni dies, "Saturn's day," in a poem by Tibullus, who wrote during the reign of Augustus; eventually this gave rise to the word "Saturday" in English.[35] The identification with Ba'al Hammon later gave rise to the African Saturn, a cult that enjoyed great popularity until the 4th century. It had a popular but also a mysteric character and required child sacrifices

It brings the community together since it would give the poor meat.

It makes Yahweh happy, what more could you ask?

No, not at all. Sacrifices were basically glorified barbecues.

It gives the gods of your people good harvest and healthy livestock.

No, it dies absolutely nothing. Animal sacrifice has been denounced after Christ sacrificed himself for the sins of mankind on the cross. No animal sacrifice will ever mean anything after that event took place.

why did animal sacrifice ever mean anything? logically the idea of animal sacrifice makes zero sense.

>indian talking about barbarism

Sacrifice yourself*

Question: what exactly did people do with the meat they set aside for their god? I've always wondered this, if you leave it somewhere it's just gonna rot or be eaten by scavengers. Did they just burn it in most religions or what?

Why spread lies?

To actually answer your interesting theory.

I'd be surprised, yet flattered. If somehow I could understand that ants were making sacrifices and giving gifts in my name, I would protect them and continue to let my ego get boosted.

Yeah, bro, it gives you superpowers, retard
