Moloch Looks At Political Ideologies, Amused You Think Child Sacrifice Not A Thing Anymore (PreOccupied Territory)

Valley of Hinnom, Jerusalem, June 19 - A Canaanite deity whose worship included the offering of one's offspring to him laughed today at your unspoken assumption that humanity no longer does that, as he gestured broadly toward every "system" that imposes its hierarchy of values on people, in so doing making the people subordinate to that system, inevitably requiring that the young and defenseless suffer and die so that the axioms of the system not be challenged.

Molech, also known as Moloch, whose child-sacrifice worship rituals the authors of the Bible found particularly detestable, chuckled in amusement this morning when informed that you think society has grown past the drive to sacrifice children to its gods - when, night and day, ideologues of all stripes sacrifice children and others on the altar of their political, economic, and social beliefs.

"It's so funny not to see the human sacrifice inherent in an unrestricted immigration policy," the god scoffed. "People are so wedded to their 'tolerance' and 'openness' and 'anti-racism' at all costs that they downplay or ignore those costs, among them the danger to one's own children that many of the migrants pose, coming as they do from cultures that do not share the host country's values of human dignity, tolerance, respect for property, consent..."

"But hey, you upheld your virtue, and that's what's important," the deity continued. "Now you can enjoy the spiritual prosperity of looking righteous to your peer group. That's what's important."

Moloch similarly invoked the draconian policies aimed at containing and mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic, which admonished people to "FOLLOW THE SCIENCE" when in fact "the science" indicated no need to stunt the social and educational development of several cohorts of children by keeping them out of school and isolating them from friends to forestall infection by a virus that affected an infinitesimally small number of children.

The same idol of SCIENCE also dictated that the government enforce restrictions on outside activities despite scant evidence, if any, that transmission of the virus could occur outdoors, thus sacrificing the economy and social cohesion on the altar of "trust of the experts."

More broadly, the body count of lives - not only those of children - sacrificed on the altar of Communism, fascism, Islamism, Palestinianism, and other ideologies continue to demonstrate that humanity has not, in any appreciable fashion, outgrown human sacrifice, and that observation provides nonstop guffaws to Moloch and his human-sacrifice-demanding colleagues across the world's pantheons.
