: My guess is that it's the act of sacrificing that matters a *lot*
: more than the actual item. It's more important that you're linking
: yourself to your god than that you're sending him cows. You're not
: feeding the gods (as if they were Aztec deities).

So like me you think that the act of sacrifice mostly opens a channell for the worship? Get's the god's attention. Works for me...
