    Why is Cannibalism Wrong?

    According to information in The Two Babylons by Hislop. One of the possible origins of cannabalism comes from the sin-offerings to Moloch or Baal. As noted in the O.T. the ritual of "passing through fire" is supposedly a ritual of human sacrifice as a sin-offering to cleanse the people of their...
