Any religion that thinks that murdering a child to appease their God is ok is just wrong.
Didn't the christian god send his son to be crucified ?

I don't see anywhere in the OP that says the girls liver was eaten.
I believe the eating part is in reference to the symbolism of cannibalism in christianity. (eating someones body and drinking their blood)

Why do we become so compassionate about children die like this when in India a massive massive group of children die every day of poverty because of how simply the world works with such unfair division of foods and land?

If you step outside of Christianity for a while, as I have, it really quits being grape juice and crackers and it starts being well, gross. And all the constant talk of the blood of the innocent is gross too. Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
I mean, come on now. The whole religion hinges around the sacrifice of the innocent to save the sinning masses.
And not just an innocent, but a deified innocent. John 3:16 and all that.
I don't like human or animal sacrifice. My Gods are so powerful if they want something or someone dead, they can do it themself, and they'd have to, because I might give them respect and a bit of worship, but that's all they are getting from me, and they better deserve that, because I KNOW I am mortal.
But, for the record, Jesus I find worthy of adoration, not because I lust after his blood or what it can do for me, but because his words and recorded deeds are amazingly compassionate, loving, peaceful, and wise
