>>22450440I guess you've never looked up how believers worshipped Moloch. They burned their own young children alive. If the brazen bull was actually used to sacrifice children to Moloch, then they had possibly a worse fate.
>Scholars link the design of the Brazen Bull to statues of Moloch (often noted as a misnomer for Chronus or Ba'al) in which infants were sacrificed alive within a bronze, calf-headed statue of the deity by being placed on the hands of the statue and sliding down into the bronze furnace.[5] The noises of the child's screams were often drowned out by drumming and dancing, since the sacrificial altars did not have the pipes system that the Brazen Bull had (see Tophet). The practices of the city of Tophet are also cited by scholars to be the inspiration for the Brazen Bull because of Akragas' Carthaginian roots.[6]IIRC some accounts also claim that the bull-headed statue was heated and a child was bound on its hands as the hot statue slowly fried them to death, but that may not be accurate.
