Is a religion based on human sacrifice moral and ethical?
No, not at all.
Over the ages, a number of pagan religions have based their theology around the notion that God needs or wants sacrifices. This phenomena has been recorded on many continents from various tribes and peoples who had no knowledge of each other.
I'd be interested to hear what the religions are. Keep in mind, we don't know what truly happened unless we were there.
I find it strange that God, any God, would be pleased or able to be bribed by some sacrifice, be it human or not. Seems like it is just humans thinking they can somehow change God’s mind about anything from the weather, the forgiveness of sin or a better crop.
I do to.
Can God be bribed by accepting burnt offerings such as virgins being thrown into volcanoes, meat or crops?
Bribe him with faith
Can God be bought off so cheaply?
No
What of Jesus our brother?
Want to make a deal? You stop blaspheming the sons of God, and God you observe a simple life as a peaceful, and charitable man and I garunte you a spot in my Heaven.
If Christianity is based on human sacrifice
It is. They sacrificed Jesus, Jude, Mother Mary, John the Baptist, Peter, and Simon-Peter. They killed Joseph and every follower of Jude during the flight into Egypt along with the wife of Joseph.
it seems to me that that would be immoral and unethical. It would mean that the innocent was murdered while the guilty were allowed to walk away. That is not good justice. Good justice says that the guilty pay and the innocent go free.
This church and all will face the wrath of the Lamb all the same as your neighborhood comic store, they are not holier than thou.
Is religious human sacrifice moral, ethical and good justice?
No, not at all.
