Moloch was a evil spirit that ancient humans would sacrifice their children to. To do this they set up a hollow bronze statue that was heated with a fire until it was glowing. They would take their newborn babies and place them on the arms of the idol, and watch them burn to death.
I can’t help but wonder if that evil spirit still exists in the form of materialism or social decay. Is today’s practice of abortion a sacrifice of children by another means? In both, innocent life is destroyed for the gain of the parent.
