It's a stupid religion and belief system.

This is just another example of why.

It's right there in the ten commandments, which I'd like to remind you has other legit bangers that still work in these modern times like "thou shalt not kill" :

Exodus 20:3-5 King James Version

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

What's funny is the decalogue is likely borrowed from what is commonly called the "ritual commandments" of Exodus 34, which are explicitly stated to be the 10 commandments in the Hebrew Bible (despite tradition calling the decalogue the 10 commandments) and includes such bangers as "sacrifice your firstborn son" and "in fact make lots of sacrifices to me"
