Does is count as a "sacrifice" if the victim doesn't stay dead?
Sure! Death is death.

The way society is degenarating it would not be long before human sacrifices begin again.
you might think I am kidding, but look how far down the ladder we have gone.
we already have abortion which in really is a human sacrifice, pretty soon we will get infanticide, euthenasia, and the downhill slide will continue.

Yes, because death was still experienced.

I hate slippery slope arguments. How many times have you lied? Does that mean you slipped further down by turning into a chronic liar or or a shoplifter or something else?

Abortion IS human sacrifice. It is primarily done to appease the god of this age - narcissistic love and worship of SELF.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
Jesus said that evil people wil only become worse and worse and I happen to believe Jesus was telling the truth. People will not get better, but actually worse as the judgement day approaches.
