No offense but, you do realize that EVERYTHING in your OP is discussed EVERYDAY here on ATS and NONE of it is "new" or "startling" information to ANYONE here?
I am not in any way saying that I necessarily disagree with any single piece of info that you have provided but you must realize that EVERYONE on this site has already been exposed to this info.
So what exactly is human sacrifice a metaphor of then?
There has been a lot of debate on the primacy of myth vs. ritual, and the presence of a myth of human sacrifice should not be taken as necessarily implying the historical existence of the actual practice: human sacrifice may be taken as the re-enactment of an older myth, or conversely a myth can be taken as a memory of an earlier practice of human sacrifice. Theistic rationalisations of human sacrifice may involve the idea of offering to deities as payment for favourable interventions in an event of special importance, to forestall unfavourable events, or to purchase disclosures about the physical world.
I test in the top 1/100the of the 99th percentile of human intelligence consistently and I am a self taught astrophysicist with 40 years of study, 12 of it dedicated, and I am also a man who predicted everything that has occurred thus far years in advance. I knew what chem trails were for before any of you had ever heard of them. My work and my posts have been removed from every forum where I have posted them to prevent my gaining credibility by siting correct predictions
