Although slaughter for sacrifice contradicts a basic belief of Christianity, it is practiced by local Catholics, Greek Orthodox and other Christians at the ruined Byzantine church of Saint George in the village of Taybeh, 20 miles from Jerusalem. "Around 70 to 80 lambs are sacrificed here each year," said the Roman Catholic priest, Father Raed. Similar sacrifices are also made in the towns of Lodd, Jaffa, al-Khadar and elsewhere in the Holy Land.
Unlike traditional sacrifices, the meat is then distributed to the poor rather than to the priests, but the purpose is very similiar.
From the article:
"The sheep are always facing east when a sharp knife goes through their necks," Khoury explained. "Sometimes sacrifices are offered as gratitude for the birth of a healthy child, help with a relation surviving a deadly illness or a major operation, or thanks for survival from a car accident."
During the killing, prayers are offered in the name of the father, son, and holy ghost and accompanied by entreaties to al-Khader (Saint George) to act as an intermediary.
Qleibo, although a Muslim himself, insists that Christian blood-sacrifice cannot be explained away as a Muslim influence: "Blood sacrifice was an important part of the ancient Canaanite religion and numerous pagan cults. Semitic blood sacrifices have persisted."

As religion Hindu and Christianity do not permit hate, polygamy,or animal sacrifice and promote virtue that is why its followers suffer less.

Where does that put the Falun Gong practitioners? All they wanted was to be left alone to follow their chosen culture, they're being hunted, persecuted and treated like animals as organ transplant donors and killed to order.

Nature is a very unforgiving, undiscriminating place. She doesn't pick and choose. Thats why i am so intreagred by her. Since the beginning of human history we been trying to harness her power with some success. But she still lets us know shes in control. Through out there's been multiple mass extinctions and shes not done. She taught me to take every breath as a gift from her. Even when someone dies of natural causes, thats nature.

I'm not going to lie, I've experienced this.
Through my experiences, I've come to know
that the Universe does react in this matter.
We, humans, fail to understand that our
'intelligence' is but a fraction & serves as a
reflection of Universal Intelligence.
However, I personally have a hard time
with accepting the conditions of our world
& using Universal Laws as means to justify
what man has created.
We, humans, have a due diligence to create
world where all beings have the opportunity
to reach their ultimate potential & aid in the
evolution of mankind & promote the well - being
of all. A habitat where there is no need for
dealings with karma.
