The most shocking and upsetting scene from the movie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was the scene of the Aztec-like priest cutting the beating heart out of a living victim. This imagery resonates within all of us as being truly barbaric and inhuman. No sane person wants to be the victim of live sacrifice. The Aztec were also renounced for the sacrifice of children to appease their gods, but as we know from Psalm XCV (95), “... omnes dii gentium daemonia;”, “...all the gods of the gentiles are demons” . We know therefore that these sacrifices were made to Satan and his minions, not to the true God. These abominations were ended with the coming of Christianity to the New World and they disappeared for many centuries.

Lately however, live sacrifice has returned and in full force in the post-Christian western world. What? You haven't noticed? A recent talk by Dr. Paul A. Byrne opened my eyes to what is actually happening today in our country, with the blessing of our government and the medical organizations.

Organ Donation

Dr. Byrne pointed out that organs must be harvested from living victims to be of any use to the recipient. He explained that the concept of “brain death” was promoted to allow doctors to declare a patient “brain dead” to thereby allow him (or her) to remove the organs from a living human being. What is happening, daily, throughout the USA, is live victims of accidents and coma are being declared dead so their organs can be harvested and given to need recipients at great profit to the medical community. The cold fact is, they are cutting the hearts out of living victims, just as the Aztecs were. Whether the goal is to save live or to please Satan is irrelevant. Satan is happy with the gift. Any time we violate God's commandments, Satan is pleased.
