Absolutely not. This would be totally anti-nature, anti-life.

~90% of cases are slander. Canaanite child sacrifice is only talked about in the Yehubor Bible, for example, no outside sources. Greek and Germanic human sacrifices are christian propaganda, and "animal sacrifices" were misinterpreted blessings of the food or rituals to help the slaughtered animal reincarnate.

That being said, some peoples and cultures did do this and that sacrifice. Some were warned, some were left to their own devices because their conscience should've known better.
The Gods also frown upon laziness, and yet many who follow them are lazy, and so on.
If the Gods only "allowed" to happen what "they want" to happen, you wouldn't have the sentience to ask this question.

Ignorant people will do what ignorant people do, and it does not reflect on the Gods who are only good, fountains of good and without blemish.
"Why God allows x", "why God didn't stop y", "doesn't God dislike z" are mentalities of an Abrahamic origin, these weren't even questions in the Hellene world, for example.

Several greek and roman sources attested to the caananites engaging in this practice, including Plato.

What humans under heavy dross do in the name of the Gods however does not mean the Gods commanded or condoned these things.

Speaking of infanticide, the bible itself is full of it, and yehubor in Israel and the Islamic world as well as other places are killing and abusing children in the name of the biblical/quaranic “God” to this day, a fact that’s ignored or even justified by the same yehuborim who then screech about caananite worshippers who may or may not have done these yehuboric sacrifices 3000 years ago. I believe they did do these sacrifices, but that does not mean the Gods are to blame for this.

If you argue with these people who try to say Pagans did child sacrifices long enough, you’ll invariably get them to admit that their real problem with this wasn’t that children were being killed, as “Yahweh/Allah” ordered/commited infanticide several times in the bible and qur’an, but that the real problem here was that it was just the worship of other Gods.

They will always forfeit this and you flip the moral accusation towards Pagans on its head. By the end of it they will be the ones trying to defend infanticide while we do say that anyone who does this is not a real follower of the Gods. They can’t say that. They have to defend the disgusting shit in the bible/Qur’an/hadiths. We don’t have to defend cultures who slid down a corrupted path and strayed heavily from the culture of the Gods.

Never let these scum convince you they have the moral high ground on anything. They don’t.
