The 'gods' must be really crazy.



There have been several allegations that most of the perpetrators of femicide are normally undertaking some spiritual practices. It is hard to verify the authenticity of these allegations. However, the conditions under which some of these bodies are found; metered and some of the body parts missing leaves one to wonder what was the driving force of the person behind it. My belief system has taught me that the offerings and sacrifices meant for God should be one without blemish, pure and sanctified. This then begs the question, which type of a god would accept such a sacrifice?


In most of the belief systems that I have come across running from Christianity to Buddhism to the African traditional religion, I have never come across a religion that supports human sacrifice. This is with the exception of the Biblical story of Abraham where God tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his one and only son. Just as he was about to kill Isaac, God intervened and stopped him. This just goes to illustrate how God values human life.


 I believe that these stereotypes is normally due to mis and disinformation. Therefore, thorough studies need to be undertaken especially by social scientists in order to understand these behavioral patterns so as to provide alternative ways of addressing it. Studies are meant to address a dearth in scholarship thereafter providing solutions. We need to understand if the perpetrators are mental health patients or psychopaths who need to be checked into psychiatry but are hiding under the guise of religion.
