[QUOTE="marajha, post: 1680807, member: 645495"] religions :| and..? well.. frankly, I'm shocked. why would G-d want us to spill blood for Him? how could that possibly in ANY WAY benefit him? I can understand why people in the ancient world ritually sacrificed animals, as they did not understand the way that seasons/crop variation/etc worked and they were superstitious. but in this modern age, it's just plain cruel. please explain to me why unnecessary killing of animals is in any way pleasing to G-d? I mean, the Old Testament suggests that we stone adulterous women, but over time we became civilized enough to abandon that rule as a product of its time - it's illogical and purely violent In modern Judaism and Islam? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Institute#Red_Heifer and ritual animal sacrifice is still a widespread practice in Islam. I don't really need to cite a source, you just need to look these things up for yourself :p GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND [/QUOTE]
