Merciful god Quote by Ajay Kansal
““However, regarding sacrifices, one irony persists almost universally: the act of sacrifice was just opposite to its motive. People killed someone to appease so-called kind and merciful gods. How could a major intelligentsia of the earth conceive that the killing of an innocent being could appease a god, who was supposed to be kind?””
