Many past years
before the coming of Christianity or Muslim people had numerous gods
whom they offered sacrifices to and praised. Every god had his or her
powers and the people had to please that god for his or graces
through offering sacrifices. Some of these sacrifice where to be made
at specific times, seasons or days for the god to accept and grand
their wish.
The gods were their lords who deserved top most respect
and honor. Some gods were to be appeased with human sacrifice. The
leaders would take someone by force and sacrifice him or her to the
god in exchange for a certain favor. This depended on how important
the favor was to the individual or to the society. The sacrifices
were made under selected trees which were considered the places of
worship.
The place under the trees and the surroundings were
considered holy and sacred because of the belief that the gods dwelt
there. There holy grounds demanded everyone’s respect otherwise the
gods were to punish those who had no respect to them. Those who lead
this kind of religion were considered lords as through them the gods
got to ear the people voices. The masses considered them superior
deigns who had the power to influence all in their lives.
The lords
had more power and all they quoted was very effective. For example
some communities had gods for good things and gods of bad omens. The
Lord
of the flies good vs. evil quotes
was to ask the god of bad omen to bring some epidemic to punish the
wrong doers for instance. The lord would make sacrifice chanting evil
quotes that were to bring the bad omen. These outdated religions
