A two panel Comic.
First panel is set somewhere in the middle ages in south america. A child is sacrificed on an altar.
The people observing this say: why do we have to kill kids? - it's not a "killing", it's a "sacrifice". - if we didn't sacrifice kids the rain god will be mad… - … and the rain may stop falling… - … and our crops would stop growing … - …and we'll starve to death!
Second panel is modern day street scene, a dead child is lifted into an ambulance, a crushed tricycle left on the road.
The people observing this say: why do we have to kill kids? - it's not a "killing", it's a "car accident". - if we motorists had to drive slower, it would hurt car sales… - … and the economy would be upset… - … and we'll all lose our jobs… - …and we'll starve to death!
I did not see this banger of a comic on here, so have it, please
Oh yes, an intentional religious murder is definitely the same as someone unintentionally running into a child.

I think a lot of people need to go back to elementary school for remedial lessons on metaphor.
I see often see two errors. One, this one, where two things are not alike in all ways and thus they are not alike at all. The other one, where two things are alike in one way and thus they are alike in all ways.
Okay but they're not alike in any sort of useful way
