Hey thanks for the documentary. Will check it out over the weekend.

No problem

Nah I totally agree. I just tend to exaggerate in the opposite direction of the original post I'm responding to because of the guy's (implicit) ludicrous claim.

Ah, fair enough. I definitely know what it's like to feel contrary.

The reason why I'm so intransigent with respect to human sacrifice, despite it likely not being as widespread as it was with the Mayans, is that the same rituals today is practiced by occult circles in complete impunity, and I remain convinced they both answered to the same evil deities, even if unknowingly. And there simply is no way to compromise with evil.

To be clear, you think they're performing human sacrifice today? In the west?

So my thesis would be: the pre-Christian civilizations, made of this Germanic substrate that eventually created Christendom, had all the intellectual and physical ingredient to embrace their incredible future. No doubt. But to do so required to relinquish their spiritual mistakes -- mistakes that most pagans made in worshiping the wrong entities.

I find that quite interesting. Would you be prepared to elaborate on it? I'm not very religious myself so I mostly view the ascension of germanic europe to have been caused by the upheval caused by the hunnic invasion, and their adoption of the late Roman imperial societal model (feudalism).

Also, I grew up in Brittany, so I'm biased either way ;)

Eh bien? J'ai une ante en Bretagne. C'est mon quartier preferé en France.

edit: having read in full and translated parts of Caesar's commentary I still do not believe he was making it up. exaggerated perhaps. but there is evidence that even Celtic druids performed ritualistic sacrifice according to some archaeological remains, I believe in Ireland among other places.

There definitely were ritual killings in Ireland, as well as the continent, and they may have been religiously motivated (it's also possible that they were motivated by justice, war or politics). The issue I take is that Caesar's accounts and most other historian's accounts of Celtic society is extreme. He paints them as savages with no respect for human life who needed to be brought to heel by Rome for their own good. If they really were as barbarous as the Roman historians claim, I don't think they would have been able to sustain sophisticated metropolitan civilisations almost throughout the iron age.
