Chilean police have arrested four alleged cult members who they accuse of burning a baby alive in a ritual.

The leader of the sect reportedly believed that the end of the world was near and that the three-day-old child was the antichrist.

The baby was taken to a hill in the town of Colliguay near the port of Valparaiso on November 21, 2012, and was thrown into a bonfire.

I give up...what the fuck is wrong with people? :(
There are variations of a quote commonly misattributed to Joseph Stalin. In 1932 a Kurt Tucholsky, a German journalist, wrote an article titled "French Joke". One example given*, allegedly said by a French diplomat: "The war? I cannot find that so horrific! The death of one human: that is a catastrophe. A hundred thousand deaths: That is a statistic.

Yes, that's a joke; a rather macabre one. Every single unnecessary death is horrific, but I find it a lot less upsetting that some utter nutters exist whose insanity or twisted views result in unspeakably cruel acts than the fact that humans can be lead, lemming-like, to kill others and be killed by the millions. At one stage 500,000 soldiers died on the allied side alone in three days. Their achievement was the capture of six square miles of mud and undetonated ordnance. That was part of WWI, the Great War. The War To End All Wars. We had a worse war since, and many others besides, but we manage to talk, dissect, analyse them all with an equanimity as if we were discussing, uhm, well, statistics.

* Es wird von den Schrecknissen des Krieges gesprochen. Darauf sagt ein Diplomat vom Quai d’Orsay: „Der Krieg? Ich kann das nicht so schrecklich finden! Der Tod eines Menschen: das ist eine Katastrophe. Hunderttausend Tote: das ist eine Statistik!“

Yep, I've heard the quote before and I wouldn't disagree with anything you said. People die horrifically all the time.
It's the circumstances of this particular event which disgust me. - The stupidity, backwardsness,cruelty and the innocence of the victim which prompted me.
This sort of story should be written in books on ancient history...not contemporary newspapers.

So unsympathetic for the dead.

Oh, so now we aren't supposed to respect indigenous cultural practices :{D

Human sacrifice and cannibalism was very common in the New World, and the Spanish worked very hard to eradicate it. But I guess they weren't a 100% successful.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

In this case, I won't complain about the Chinese fondness for the death penalty, which is almost certainly what these people are likely to get.

I doubt it. I don't think the Chinese police stray that far from China.

But what if it WAS the antichrist? It would be wise to get rid of it.

But burning satan sounds like drowning a fish. Or throwing brer rabbit in the brambly bush.

They should have shown it love, and tried to convert it back to goodness. Silly christians.

Fuck, how did I read "China" from "Chile"? Probably because every second weird news story comes from China.

What's wrong with them? They are Christians. It's evinced by a belief in an anti-christ.

Cretins, not christians, they committed murder and tried to prevent a prophecy from happening, which must happen if the Books are Divinely Inspired... also, they have given a child to the Moloch, which is as pagan as things come.

Where did you get "Moloch" from? They burned the baby for the same reason people burned witches.

Yeah I doubt there is an active Moloch Cult been in existence for the last 1600 years.

If it was the end of the world, then they were only robbing the baby of a few hours of life at the most.

They just got it wrong, that's all. Anyone can make a mistake.

This sort of insensate cruelty, often on an exponentially greater scale, has been a constant feature of human history so it hardly ranks as a harbinger of our forthcoming quietus.Some ( who shall cower behind the veil of anonymity) may hold that it corroborates the belief that we are a species which ought to be doomed.

It would have no effect at all on the survival of the species.
Male bears will eat any cub they get a chance of.
Male lions will kill any cubs except those of their own pride.

Lots of mammals will kill their own young, and eat them, in times of scarcity. The species will march on.
This kind of callousness and aggression helped our ancestors to survive, and kill off the useless too-nice ones.
