"No utopia"?  

Cutting the living, beating heart out of a person with an obsidian knife and eating it and drinking the blood?  As part of a religious ceremony?  

You have a gift for understatement!


That doesn't read well in the customary "Noble Savage" myths we get from the liberals today!


The conquistadores of the Spanish Inquisition killed for their religion, too,  but they didn't commit that barbarity against their own people in the name of their gods.

They did Jews and pagans and such instead.

Although,  of course, in later years, they killed their own people if the Pope wanted the assets of a particular group of Europeans.  I mean, business is business, after all!
