Aww, c'mon zero. You can't seriously fault us for making fun of a woman who sacrifices bulls at home and debates whether or not she should organize a community stoning or a "private family burning" for her own uncle! She clearly participates in selective interperetation of the Bible and should be stoned herself for spouting such ignorant and bigoted sewage. And if you are having a problem with it, you will not last long here.:D

Can the same be said about the constitution?

Or the works of people like Benjamin Franklin or Martin Luther King, Jr?

Say what?

What parts of our Constitution do you consider arcane?


:confused:
Not so much arcane, but it seems there are those who pick and choose which parts are important and should be taken literally while other parts are less important and should be taken loosely.

But no, I don't find the constitution arcane, do you?

I don't see that as happening. Perhaps some parts don't get referenced as much as others but the courts have been rather consistent in interpreting the Constitution as our country has progressed.

I find it in no way, shape or form as being arcane.


As for zephyr's comment...well...that was just too ignorant of a post to even attempt a reply.

Another religious trait I always found amusing, in order for me to look like a good follower, something has to die!

You can still sacrifice if you want to. Just beware when you sacrifice to kill the animal humanely by slicing it's throat. It is harder than you would think to slice an animals throat and the blade really does have to be razor sharp and you still have to use as much force as you can to do it fast.You can be arrested if you kill animals any other way.
From a Christian perspective our law is thus
Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Romans 12:1 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

You consider the cutting of a throat humane? Luckily, all the throats I have cut belonged to an animal I had already put a hole into. Having personally witnessed goats and sheep being killed by Bedowin friends, I can say that a cut throat isn't the quick, pain free death you seem to portray it as. There's gurgling, kicking, rolling eyes, all kinds of shuddering, and then once enough blood has departed the animal expires.
Regardless, it's the whole ritualized aspect of not-for-food killing that bothers me.

What I portray it as Kage69 is unimportant. The courts have ruled that cutting an animals throat is the 'humane' way to do a religious sacrifice and you are within your legal rights to do it. Any other way could lead to an arrest for cruelty to animals. That is the legal precedant the courts created.

agreed, throat slitting is a slow and horrible way to kill something. what blood that isnt spilled on the ground you suck into your lungs and you drown in your own blood.

Really? no.
When you slice an animals throat,all blood flow to the brain ceases, the blood drains away from the brain very rapidly. The animals feels only momentary pain. The nervous system may continue to make the body move in different ways but the animal is totally unconscious or dead already.

No actually it is, as it shows you are uninitiated to that which you are discussing.

Why the discussion of Humaneness of Satanic Ritual

Hey, I just commented on animal sacrifices in general being rather odd. Mr. Legality here is the one suddenly trying to equate his religious doctrine with humane killings.

Ignorant? As in uninformed? Our Godly President Bush seems to agree with me and he has always proved to be a truly brilliant and enlightened man.

You really need to raise your standards. By the way he talks, I'd be amazed if he could just spell 'enlightened.' Let me guess, the 4th grader vocabulary is all just a deceptive fascade, right?
