I think the dog in the painting looks a lot like the taxidermy, it's just doing the backing-up-while-surprised thing that dogs do

Deteriorata posted:Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all claim to worship the God of Abraham. I think we should just take them at their word and not try to split hairs about what we think they do or do not actually believe about it. yeah, i remember having difficulty explaining to a friend why messianic jews aren't considered jews by most, but hasidic jews, who claim to have a messiah that most people don't agree is the messiah, are still. and it comes down to "that's what the majority of the people in the religion say they believe, so that's how the religion is" likewise, the vast majority of christians, jews, and muslims will likely point to each other and go "same god, different book" and leave it at that

Interested in the source on that one, since the Iliad namedrops Hades a few times and you'd expect that to be spoken aloud quite a bit. Is it a matter of different names?

widespread taboos on human sacrifice significantly predate christianity. it's culturally-bound but not to some singular cause. if anything, christianity is against it more because its two main components (jewish law and roman ideas of morality) both don't like it, than it is against it for any self-justifying reason
