That is a declarative sentence,not an argument,built on a moral position. IE that sacrifice is wrong in principle and specifically.
Be thrilled to hear your evidence for the assertion of your universal moral absolute..

Emotional claptrap unsupported by any evidence I've seen.SOME evangelists appear to be clinically insane.My observation is most believers of all types are simply suffering from cognitive dissonance of varying severity,but are quite sane
I repeat my position:None of the major religions are evil (whatever 'evil' means; I'm unaware of an objective definition)
No religion has the clarity of teaching,or cohesion to be entirely/mainly good or bad. Any evil comes from followers who are deluded/gullible/ stupid/ignorant/opportunistic,or just old fashioned cunts.Human beings are simply not rational enough or self dicliplined enough consistently follow any belief or ideology. We are however cunning enough to use such things to rationalise any behaviour whatsoever. Hence in practice, human behaviour is dominated by one and only one principle"the ends justify the means". We are extremely good at justifying out acts post hoc.
