I read that Quetzalcoatl did not want human sacrifices ...

I'll have to look that up but ...

Imagine that for summer vacations Aztecs would say let's go to our holy religious summer war... Whoever wins gets to eat the dead. πŸ˜…

While the Aztecs did perform various types of sacrifices, including the offering of other living beings and objects, there is no indication that Quetzalcoatl was associated with human sacrifice. In fact, Quetzalcoatl was known as a deity of life, knowledge, and civilization, and was often associated with the creation of humanity.

It is important to note that the sources do not provide a definitive answer to the question, and there may be other sources or interpretations that differ. However, based on the context provided, it is not accurate to make a definitive statement that human sacrifices were made in honor of Quetzalcoatl.

Maybe
23:17:24
@tauny:matrix.orgartarkiaSounds like chatGPT ...23:17:32
@iqgustvo:matrix.orgkuztIt's not... It's the result of a search engine23:18:26
@iqgustvo:matrix.orgkuztI asked if there were human sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl... And it searched a couple of web results23:19:16
@tauny:matrix.orgartarkiaYeah, same thing, a statistical language model ...23:19:16
@iqgustvo:matrix.orgkuztAlthough... I don't expect much information about Aztecs to be available online23:20:53
@tauny:matrix.orgartarkiaRight, so not much statistcal information. Anyway πŸ₯±23:21:33
@iqgustvo:matrix.orgkuzt There is no clear evidence that Quetzalcoatl was associated with human sacrifice. In fact, some sources suggest that he was opposed to such practices and that his teachings emphasized the importance of compassion and nonviolence. For example, the Huehuetlahtolli, a collection of ancient Nahua sayings, includes the following advice attributed to Quetzalcoatl: "Do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, do not be idle." 23:28:13
@iqgustvo:matrix.orgkuztLet's see if I find the source23:28:24
@goodfellowpuch:matrix.orgDr. Robinson kuzt: I've heard that as well and that the source of human sacrifice came from the deity known as Smoking Mirror 23:30:05
@iqgustvo:matrix.orgkuztGotta search ☺️23:36:50
