The ANDEAN CULTURE has left us evidence of ITS GREATNESS, having constructed TO BENEFIT the very ESSENCE OF LIFE without wasting what NATURE has sown for us. It was a civilized society with accomplishments that are in AGREEMENT WITH NATURE.
The subject of HUMAN SACRIFICES as a practice to please the gods denotes the LACK OF UNDERSTANDING of the basic meaning of SPIRITUALITY, LACK OF RESPECT for NATURE, the PHILOSOPHICAL LIMITATION of the culture, and their BACKWARDNESS and CONTRADICTION BEFORE MATERIAL and MENTAL REALITY.
"SACRED SERVICE" means "TO SERVE" or "TO PERFORM LABOR" as in cultivating the ground. In a spiritual context, when we serve to cultivate the ground means we do the best that we can to plant the seeds of goodness in everything we do. As a reward, PEACE and HAPPINESS come to us. But when the misunderstanding of the term "TO SERVE" goes to the hand of the evil forces, then,
everything change, and it is used with reference to "service rendered to a deity", implying false worshiping, rendering service to created things instead of THE CREATOR.
To serve and protect the NATURE we are complementing the work of our Creator in spirit, on account of our special COVENANT relationship to HIM. As the wife complement the husband all the days of their lives.
If the act of sacrificing an individual assumed that peace of a community will follow, that crops would
flourish and hunger would end, that rains would be sufficient to fertilize the earth, that an earthquake would not cause destruction, that a volcano would not erupt, MAY THE GODS HAVE PITY OF THESE MORTALS!
There is no logical purpose or scientific evidence that the ANDEAN SOCIETY perpetuated human
sacrifices as a method of beseeching god to receive his protection. In fact, great scientific evidence attests to the contrary. One must commit a sin of ingenuousness to believe that killing someone could influence THE ECOLOGICAL RHYTHM OF THE CLIMATE OR THE NATURAL ORDER OF
NATURE.
