Is it against the rules to disscus religious rituals on poly?

[Heraclitus]

Things like animal sacrifice?


Seriously though, can someone tell me when the Jews for example ended the practice of animal sacirifice? Was it after the destruction of the temple? Or did it happen later?



Also how widespread was the practice in ancient times (it seems like everyone did it) and where can we still see such things in the modern world (excepts new cults and pseudosatanic rituals).

Depending on the amount of detail will determine if it will be allowed. The basic concept is not specifically forbidden.

Methodists have never practiced sacrificial offerings of any kind.

As far as I understand it ended after the destruction of the temple.

Judaism took a turn from a public ritual based religion, to a personal based religion. the idea was introduced that you don't need a physical temple to connect to god - you can pray directly to him.

you still need a large enough public (usually 10 people) for some popular prayers.


Also, you can find animal sacrifice with the Samaritans. Which are sort of a quasi-jewish sect.

This thread is religulous.

The transformation of Judaism happened, as Siro says, following the fall of the third temple.

chucking live victims into volcanoes is the only way out of the credit crunch and it's about time politicians woke up to this fact
