I'm fundamentally opposed to it...despite the fact that it's roots are firmly planted in the foundations of Christianity. Taking a life is such a profound statement...plus I'm opposed to it on ethical grounds.

Normally after they sacrifice the animal they cook it up and give the people to eat afterwards.

For the life of me I cannot understand why more people do not see it this way.

You thank God while slaughtering food: Bad.
You ignore God while slaughtering food, then thank him before eating: Good.

maybe some see it as a senseless killing rather than a sacrifice.

Look at the American Indian and the buffalo - it is one of their sacred animals. why? 'cause they figure "God" sent it for them to be eaten.
