this is a quote from the person I was responding to, not my words. my response is underneath that paragraph somewhere.

But sacrifice, for so-called "pagans," (at least not African "pagans" according to everything I've seen so far) was not a form of divination/fortune telling. It is a sign of respect to the higher being; a way of acknowledging God and welcoming God's presence.
