It's kind of hard to see the glory and holiness in a practice so strikingly animalistic, but I guess it's a matter of cultural and societal background in the end, with very different contexts leading to very different perspectives, and improbable standards being experienced and accepted as comfortable normality.

It's even truer if there is an actual deity behind it, as it is natural for most people to trust and follow those they perceive as greater, a trust and faith that would likely be multiplied exponentially when the leader proves as benevolent as successful.

Excellent idea ! It may just be what the section needs to make sense of this central focus.
