The Roman historian, Tacitus, records that the ancestors of the English speaking peoples, the Angles, sacrificed to the Mother Earth Goddess. In his Germania, On the Origin and Geography of Germany, Tacitus describes this gruesome ritual as "a ceremony performed by slaves who are immediately afterward drowned in the lake." Jumping ahead a few centuries, the Celtic and Northern German tribes -- the ancestors of English and German speaking peoples -- were commonly pagan idolaters who sacrificed their own children to the Mother Goddess. Child sacrifice and abortion were practiced and were accepted as facts of everyday life -- the necessary consummation of their rampant sexual immorality. Where did the practice of child sacrifice ultimately take these societies? The Canaanites, Carthaginians, Indians, Aztecs, and Northern Europeans -- everyone who practiced open, culturally-sanctioned human sacrifice to pagan gods and goddesses -- were eventually destroyed, wiped out by invading armies. The lesson for us so-called "moderns"? Nations must obey God's eternal Law concerning the sanctity of innocent human life -- or face the dire consequences.
