Aztec Sacrifice

The Aztecs practiced human sacrifice to please their god who makes the sun rise and fall.The Aztecs sacrificed 10,000 prisoners of war and slaves every year,in fact they sacrificed so many people that the temple stairs were stained with blood.to become a slave you had to not of paid your debts or went against the Aztecs in war.if you become a slave it isn't the end for you,you could always pay the debts back in order for you to not be a slave any more.
My opinion on the Aztecs human sacrificing is that it is uneccessary and does not need to be as done often.I feel this way because if you feel that human sacrifice is a terrible and gory thing to do even if it is for a god,you should not want it to have to happen as often,and would do it every 2 months or so. if the person is not willing to give up his life or has too much going on for him right now then dont kill him. if a person committs a crime or in every society theres some crazy suicidle just kill them.
