Lol i dint know that, so this stupid pagan ritual seems to have worked just as opposite of what they wanted... and the God will keep punish those men who keep doing this stupid pagan rituals from the Ancient Age sacrificing innocent forms of life for nothing.
Nah... religious people work differently. Its not the fault of the ritual, the problem was they offered too view cows and the gods became angry. Believe me they want to hold onto their religion and this explaination will come in handy.
Though i wonder if true...
