There is a theme in the Bible that God frowns on human sacrifice. People killing people is not to be countenanced, especially when down "for one's god." We have the very strange story of Abraham first commanded to sacrifice Isaac, and then not. This throws into confusion where Israel was commanded to kill Canaanites, but did haphazardly.
As it has been noted, God wants obedience more than sacrifice.
As a Catholic of the Roman rite, I get disoriented when I see the left wing "peace and justice" Catholics tolerate abortion (infant sacrifice) and right wing "pro-life" Catholics celebrate killing people brown and darker overseas. It seems the contemporary Catholic is very much into human sacrifice one way or another. And reflect, all human sacrifice is about making life better for the ones doing the killing. The essential argument of both sides is by these killings our lives are better. Killing some people is "the price we pay" for our civilization. (I've had people actually say that to me.)
Here is a sold out Catholic men's conference. Who is the big draw?
The Navy Seals will make you all the Catholic you can be? Weren't they the ones who buttoned O B Laden? You mean being a Navy Seal is a spiritual warfare? So like, jihad? Just how confusing can a Catholic conference get? Let's do a re-write to make this clear...
See the problem?
There was an Archbishop/Cardinal who taught a pox on both houses, that to be Catholic you had to reject the violence on both sides, pro-life and pro-peace. He used the idea of the seamless garment Christ wore as the symbol for the idea. He was falsely accused of sexual improprieties, and it took an excruciating process that ended with the accuser recanting his false charges. A lesson to any priest who would be faithful to the teaching of Jesus.

| Charlie Aeschliman is a former Navy S.E.A.L. and trick basketball handling champion... but that is far from all he is about! Contrasting Catholicism with his experience as a Navy S.E.A.L., Charlie highlights the awesome arsenal the Church provides to successfully engage in spiritual warfare and overcome sin. ...become all God made them to be.
