Because no other dog would randomly bark at people who just happen to be judges. Totally believable, almost as believable as growing wings out of your ass and flying to the sherbet kingdom.
Because religion is a system that encourages that not grounding one's beliefs in empiricly observable reality is not only totally OK, but in fact a better alternative than what secular observations can yield; Accepting one delusion, one decrepit standard of proof, will make the slide into others all the easier.Duruznik said:The guy was a nut. He should be put down, not the belief he used as an excuse.Imperator_DK said:Well, when some crazy belief supports animal cruelty, that belief needs to be put down.
...Just like any other belief which support illegality or discrimination.
Why blame a religion for the actions of a lone idiot?

There's no single Jewish religious belief when it comes to the afterlife, and Hasidism proposes reincarnation.RabbidKuriboh said:honestly fuck these witch doctor horse shit peddlars, that is arguably the stupidist thing i've ever heard, not only are these people completely useless they deem fit to cause harm too

The story is almost complete bullshit, but good luck violating basic human rights anyway.thethingthatlurks said:And shit like this is the reason why I oppose all religions. Even if 99.9% of all practitioners of a given religion are perfectly sane, well functioning members of society, the remaining 0.9% tend to be this sort of raving lunatic. Religion is used way too often as a justification for abhorrent and insane behavior, so why not outlaw it? You won't find atheists in this day and age who would order children to stone a dog for some reason that defies all common sense. Perhaps a padded cell is in order here?
Actually, raving lunatic atheists would (they do exist). You basically said "our raving lunatics are better than your raving lunatics", to which I can only lolwut.thethingthatlurks said:And shit like this is the reason why I oppose all religions.

That's my biggest fear too- that people will think we're all like this, when really it's just a small minority. Most of Israel is perfectly normal. All countries have their psychos, we're no exception.jonyboy13 said:Oh God, please don't think that all of Israel like that. It happened in the most Orthodox neighborhood in Israel where literally NO ONE dares to enter. They are basically the Jew version of Nazis.
Our government is pretty shit, isn't it? Forget the politics, I don't know if ANYONE can fix the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the least the government could do is have a decent internal policy. Which they don't.Edit:
In case someone's wondering, our delightful government didn't do shit about it. Didn't even try to arrest the people. Fuck, I hate this place>>"
