Many cultures still practice sacrificing animals or humans (in extreme cases of witchcraft) in certain rituals for a gain. While others have resorted to sacrifice coconut in place of animals or humans for the same purpose. Are you aware of any such rituals? Are you okay with sacrificing lives in name of rituals?

Well, I wouldn't say I support animal sacrifice but I do not see any issues when people practice animal sacrifice. Sacrifice is sanctioned in many religions and if you take away this privileged the people following that faith would lose important aspect of their culture. You are free not to sacrifice animals but you cannot stop someone from doing it. If you really care about animals, try stopping the cruelty in big cattle farm and slaughter houses.
No. I feel like religions that practice any form of killing are cults.
There are quite a few references in the Bible about sacrifices made, Cain and Abel, and Noah as examples. A more extreme example would be God testing Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac, with an animal that took Isaac's place instead.
Would Christianity fall into a cult since, at one time, it was a norm?
I guess the mindset would have been different back then.
But if a Christian religion were to sacrifice anything today, I'd assume it's a cult.
What if called on God to do so?
Rituals and traditions are important, but they should always align with compassion and respect for life. Sacrifice should never cause harm or suffering, and we should always consider ethical alternatives. True spirituality comes from kindness and understanding.
There are murderers out there that claim God told them to kill people. They've killed and women and children because they said God told them to do it. Why are we not fighting for their release if God told them to do that?What if called on God to do so?
I am happy that I live in the era of my religion that one doesn't need to sacrifice anything to get access to the supernatural. I believe those ritual sacrifices are so fetish and should not be encouraged.

I’m not for sacrifice in the name of rituals. I value ethics over outdated practices, like animal sacrifices, and prefer meaningful acts, like studying religion and become aware of the almighty and helping people.
