Many times, in Scripture, God’s people are warned not to be like the pagan peoples of other nations who sacrificed their own children. As we read of this abomination in Scripture, the so-called “civilized West” would claim that such vile behavior as child sacrifice should not be tolerated.

But they do! In numbers that make the child sacrifice of the past pagan cultures pale in significance.

In Psalm 106:35–38, we read the following:

“But they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.”

Such an abomination as child sacrifice does occur in our Western nations and, in fact, the whole world. It’s called abortion—nothing less than child sacrifice to the god of self.
