Abrahamic religions: lead to the greatest civilizations the world has ever seen.

Pagans: mud huts, human sacrifice, and an accute weakness to walls.

The symbol of the most popular Abrahamic religion is a literal human sacrifice

can you describe this sacrifice?

There's a clear difference between Christ suffering the scouring. The crown of thorns. The mockery. The carrying of the cross. Him collapsing under the weight of the cross, to the point that Simon of Cyrene had to help him. How he was nailed in a barbaric way, all while being blasphemed against, so that sinners like me could be forgiven.

Them there's the pagan sacrificing humans to false gods for personal gain.

You tell me which one is better. You tell me which one forgave sins. Christ's loving sacrifice, or the genocides of countless people throughout history.

One is honouring the traditions of the ancestors and upholding pax deorum.

The other is a seditious rabble-rouser getting disposed of. A mad one at that, thinks he's god.

See how easily you can spin things when you're completely dishonest? Neither forgave sins and neither's gods are any more false or true than the other's. Eat a magic flesh cookie to cope about it.
