No it's because "god" is a bloodthirsty tyrant the same as every other deity. With the exception of Egypt and Ganesha in India, gods were depicted as human. Don't talk on matters you dont know about.
You're right, to the extent that the God of the Bible punished those who engaged in human sacrifice. The child sacrificing cananites were punished by the Israelites taking their land and putting them to the sword. God will continue to punish those who sacrifice to demons those who kill those created in his image.
But the Israelites murdered the Canaanite children themselves in the orders of god
Deu 20:16 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
Deu 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
Jos 6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Yes, the Israelites put the demon worshiping child sacrificers to to the sword on orders. Just like when Israel fell into worshiping pagan gods, the Assyrians might swing by to punish them...of course they repent and say it won't happen again...but of course it does.
A lot of modernists and Christian heretics (but I repeat myself) have a problem with a God that punishes wrongdoing, but that's their problem not his. It still happens today, which is to say, God's collective punishment on whole nations, such as Haiti.
Your changing the topic because you were called out for being wrong. I'm a Buddhist, I think all gods are bastards and choose to not worship any of them, the Bible's ripoff of Sumer's Enlil included.
Many religious have sacred animals, the Romans had sacred geese, Hindus have cows, etc. I could do more research, but you get the point.
The Bible is a lot of things, and some part even share commonality with other Middle Eastern mythology, but what it is not, is a "ripoff".
Enjoy your Buddhism, because however far you are down that path, you have some serious attachment issues showing up in your anger here. You're as far away from Nirvana as a fat guy at a buffet is from fitness.
Sacred animals are not gods. Again, have knowledge before you speak. As far as my anger, excuse me if i didn't take your opinion over my teachers' and my own. Amituofo.

You are honestly a vile human. But that’s what belief in the genocidal, egomaniacal lord god of Israel does to a person
