 The ONA 's writings condone and encourage human sacrifice , referring to their victims as <unk> . The ONA outline their views on human sacrifice in a number of documents : " A Gift for the Prince – A Guide to Human Sacrifice " , " Culling – A Guide to Sacrifice II " , " Victims – A Sinister Exposé " , and " Guidelines for the Testing of <unk> " . According to the ONA 's beliefs , the killer must allow their victim to " self @-@ select " themselves ; this is achieved through testing the victim to see if they expose perceived character faults . If this proves to be the case , the victim is believed to have shown that they are worthy of death , and the sacrifice can commence . Those deemed ideal for sacrifice by the group include individuals perceived as being of low character , members of what they deem " sham @-@ Satanic groups " like the Church of Satan and Temple of Set , as well as " zealous , interfering Nazarenes " , and journalists , business figures and political activists who disrupt the group 's operations . The ONA explains that because of the need for such " self @-@ selection " , children must never be victims of sacrifice . Similarly , the ONA " despise animal sacrifice , maintaining that it is much better to sacrifice suitable <unk> given the abundance of human dross " .
