In Chile, in 1960, after the great Valdivia earthquake, in a small beach town in southern Chile, to “calm the seas” after the tsunami, a mapuche machi (chilean indigenous people; chaman), did a human sacrifice, killing a little child, they were absolved because they “were acting in accordance of an extreme fear of their gods of their belief”, and it angers me always so much that story.
When they tell me to respect other people’s believes, I always think of that case, is then OK to kill children if you say is to “calm your angered gods?” Apparently yes, fuck that no I won’t accept people believeing in bullshit.
