The Canaanites practiced child sacrifice to Moloch/Baal by burning their own sons and daughters alive.
Imagine what must be missing from your human instinct to actually burn your own child to death. What would it take for you to burn your own child alive?
Is there anything human in people who would do such evil? This must be one of the reasons that God commanded that the Canaanites be genocided. Which the Hebrews failed to do.
>Writing in the 4th century B.C.E, the Greek historian Cleitarchus said of the Carthaginian practice, โThere stands in their midst a bronze statue of Kronos, its hands extended over a bronze brazier, the flames of which engulf the child. When the flames fall upon the body, the limbs contract and the open mouth seems almost to be laughing until the contracted body slips quietly into the brazier. Thus it is that the โgrinโ is known as โsardonic laughter,โ since they die laughing.โ (trans. Paul G. Mosca) โKronosโ was a regional name for Baal Hammon, the chief of Carthageโs gods.

If you would burn your own child alive, is there anything you would not do? Would you even think twice about using other people's children for sexual blackmail?
