From the new afterword by the author:

Humanity has had a long fascination with blood

sacrifice. In fact, it has been by no means uncommon for a child to be born into

this world only to be patiently and lovingly reared by religious maniacs, who believe

that the best way to keep the sun on its course or to ensure a rich harvest is to

lead him by tender hand into a field or to a mountaintop and bury, butcher, or burn

him alive as offering to an invisible God. The notion that Jesus Christ died for

our sins and that his death constitutes a successful propitiation of a “loving” God

is a direct and undisguised inheritance of the superstitious bloodletting that has

plagued bewildered people throughout history. . .
