Can I buy one of those on Amazon?But did they make drinking cups from the skulls of their enemies?
I bought a replica Mayan obsidian sacrificial knife at Chichen Itza in early 2009.
If I ever wanted to have my heart slashed out - and I do not - I certainly wouldn't opt for that, were any choice of implement given.
It's thick.

Lets start our own
Dark Amazon where one can purchase only weird stuff. And guitars and guitar accessories.

From my reading and visit down there, I get the impression that the more the victim suffered the better in their eyes.

Gary Jennings. He also wrote The Journeyer which I quite enjoyed - a fictionalized account of Marco Polo's travels, and Thorn, which I found a little more disturbing.

Here we go...
Two Catholic churches have been destroyed after separate overnight fires in the South Okanagan area of B.C.
The Sacred Heart Church on Penticton Indian Band lands was burned early Monday morning, the parish confirmed with CBC on Monday.
The St. Gregory's Church, in the Oliver area on Osoyoos Indian Band lands, was also in flames around the same time.
Catholic Father Obi Ibekwe said the parish would be waiting for results of an RCMP investigation before making further comment.
Penticton and Oliver are roughly 40 kilometres apart.

Nothing good will come of this.

Churches serve no purpose. Other than the crime of arson, purging of religion is a good thing. Brick by brick.

Just out of curiosity, would you say the same for mosques, synagogues, gurdwaras, temples, etc? Or is your focus entirely on Christian houses of worship? Asking for a friend.

Doubt it. Once the religion is emptied out of a person's mind, a void remains which most find hard to fill; there is no longer any higher authority to appeal to in order to settle the matter of what ought to be nor any hope to cling to in adversity except what one creates for oneself. A few can manage this; most break.

Apparently the chief of the band where this all started has said he believes that Canada day should go on and people should learn and grow.

Maybe you could destroy a Sweat Lodge on June 30 to assist the Indigenous folk too see your shining guidance also.

Really? I guess the girl guides, dog training, AA groups, kids basketball, badminton groups that rent the local church does not count? Nor apparently do the soup kitchens, the senior programs, the overseas youth support and overseas community support they give counts for nothing? How about the choir groups, I guess gospel and other music forms like Motown can dwindle away?
Sponsoring refugees - and doing a much-better job of it than the federal government. Many sponsoring groups still maintain friendships with the families whom they sponsored and guided years ago. Federally-sponsored refugees were, in many cases, pretty much abandoned to their own devices at the end of a year.

Not to mention welcoming Muslims into their midst, with no requirement or even ask to convert, one lady came from a particular sect in Africa that did not fit the "mainstream Sunni" idea of worship, she found community and a place to worship Allah at the church.
