Some pagans did that. Most didnt. The pagans best known to us for
the
practice were the Carthagenians.
Not in my neighborhood. The best known, were the Moloch worshipers.
Same guys. They were ethnic Phoenicians, a colony.
Evidently the same didn't apply to the charms of

Samaritan is an indicator of how separate the Jewish and Pagan cultures

Samaritans had the same status as tornado bait trailer trash do in

For the record, nowhere in the Bible does it specifically say MM was a
prostitute. She is described as either a "sinner" without the specific
sinner named, or as "out of whom went seven devils." This could mean
she was a member of a pagan cult before she met Jesus. Whether or not

Remember Rahab was supposedly a "harlot" which also had a very different
meaning in biblical times - for she was an innkeepers daughter.

He would not even have had access to such a person. There were no Pagan
temples in Jewish Jerusalem.
Jesus grew up in the boondocks, not the capital. Pagans were common,
even after nearly a millennium of Jewish repression. All the Jews did
was drive out the temples. The pagans
