Many of us offer sacrifices today, too.
In most Slavic countries, it is customary to slay and eat a pig on certain holidays, like Christmas and our Slava.
In the US you kill turkeys for Thanksgiving. How different is that compared to other "sacrifices"?
- emteycz 5y agoWe do it for the fun and food, not for some pseudo gods.
- wheelerof4te 5y agoWe can do it for both. Why not? Perun is a "pseudo" God, as much as Zeus was a pseudo God. And if they are pseudo gods, then Jesus Christ is a pseudo God, too. Gods exist as long as people believe in them.

- emteycz 5y agoBecause we mostly don't like gods, at least here in CZ.
- AeroNotix 5y agoYou can colour it any way that you like. Many Americans would likely baulk at the idea of a turkey-less Thanksgiving. It is a central theme of the holiday. What else is it, if not a sacrifice?
- emteycz 5y agoIt's food and fun, not sacrifice.
- tasha0663 5y agoSadly, we don't offer our turkey up to any thunder god. It's even traditional for presidents and governors to pardon a turkey. Blasphemy!
