Hi Mei,

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that you heard from a friend that religions use animals and/or people for offerings, or that you heard from a friend that all religions are not good?

Some religions do indeed use animals or people for offerings. Some others do not. Do you hold all religions as bad because some of them do this?

It seems odd to me that you would say that all religions are not good because of the actions of some of them. That is like saying that all of a certain ethnic group are bad because of the actions of a few of them (this leads to racism and bigotry). Perhaps we can say that all farmers are bad because some of them grow coca plants (to produce cocaine)?

I'm really interested in your point of view, but I just can't believe that I am reading your post correctly.
