Does sacrificing an animal actually do anything?

>>2987910
Define "anything"

Weak post, kill yourself.

You get some meat out of it.

>>2987918

Isn't it forbidden to eat sacrificial meat though?

>>2987910
Well, you give a bunch to god/gods, the rest you gather for a barbecue.

At least that's how the local Muslims here do it.

>>2987910
It turns the animal into an odor pleasing to the Lord (apparently).

>>2987923
depends.

>>2987923
Depends on the religion. In the Bible, some of the meat was given to the temple to be eaten by the priests. In the Iliad, they sacrifice 100 heifers and eat all of it but a couple legs which they wrap in fat and burn.

>>2987923
in Rome? no

I think it was even compulsory

>>2987924
i thought there wasn't sacrifices in islam

>>2987910
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?

>>2989253
You offer your ram to God so he can keep the universe running.

>>2987910

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.

>>2987910
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.

its ancient pagan ritual sacrifice ("trial by fire" ) to moloch rebranded as redemption/endure persecution

In Hebrew, the verb meaning "to seal a covenant" translates literally as "to cut"

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.

>>2987910

It makes Yahweh happy, what more could you ask?

>>2987923
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.

>>2991451

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

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?

>>2987924
Why spread lies?

>>2989253
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
