I agree that sacrifice was probably rational given past beliefs and perspective but it doesn't make for a moral metaphor in 2017 imo.
And I wouldn't consider it virtuous at all even in that time. It was just what seemed to be the best out of a bunch of tragic options.
e.g. The same could probably be (at least close to) said about burning 'witches.'
Yes but also the very concept that you could redress a balance by sacrificing someone else is alien to our sense of justice now.
Yeah, our intuitions about these things were all over the board back then. The only moral lesson I can imagine drawing from this is maybe...
be more skeptical and make extra sure it's justified before you murder people. :p
