How far Occident? Quetzealcoatle was not much better.
Orientals? did they care at all? they were occupied

better, not to spek about Maori, African, Hawaiian

requiring virgins to be thrown into the Volcano. The
priests of the smarter ones ate them.
Did you notice the Catholic homophag rite: "Take it
and eat it: it is my body. Drink it: it is my blood.
And literary thousands of protestant rites follow
suit.
Muslims cleaned that up, they concentrate on heavennly
sex (hueis).
Sorry if I hurt feelings.
