We have sacrifices going on everyday, all over the world. It's just not called "ritual" sacrifice ... it's just modern warfare ... it happens to be mass murder on a scale that would beggar the efforts of all the Aztecs and Mayans put together. It's important that we try not to take the moral high ground. We have no room to brag or feel superior. :11: |

Quoting: A Leopard SanctuaryIf so when. If so should we still follow their calendar as some guide for us? Signed a confused Leopard that would prefer to follow Mayan calendars but not if those calendars were somehow majorly sacrificial based and stuff. Yes they did..and as far as the calendar maybe they just got bored with counting For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |

BTW, the Mayan calendar "running out" is no more significant than getting the error message on a calculator when you try to add numbers that are too big. It's basically adding 1 to 999, but you don't have room for a fourth digit. |

Earth Daughter User ID: 734737 United States 07/26/2009 03:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mayans were more 'gentle' about it, I guess you can say. Like a virgin would be choosen to give to the Gods. The virgin would be pampered and treated like a God him or herself for awhile. Then they would step into one of the cenotes (natural wells) to make the journey to the Gods. Aztec would capture enemies and slaughter them on the temples. Lots of blood and pulling out of hearts. You know the story. "Arrows of hate have been shot at me too, but they never hit me, because somehow they belonged to another world, with which I have no connection whatsoever." - Albert Einstein |
A Leopard Sanctuary (OP) User ID: 732774 Canada 07/26/2009 03:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know Aztec and Mayan are two separate cultures. I understand that this sacrificing of humans took place at the end of Aztec civilization. I am not saying that this be the ideation of the Mayans during or before their sacrificing. Aztecs had some similar views though to Mayans about the "reversing of the end of the world" was their ideation. I wanted to know if the sacrifices of Mayans took place at the beginning or end of their duration there. Thank you for enlightening if you know history.
