Personally I dont see anything crazier about this than "We have to slowly bleed animals to death because a Sky Fairy told us so 1500 years ago."

That's okay, I don't see any difference between rabid atheists like you, and the rabid atheists that ran your country 30 years ago.  Except the older ones were smarter.
YUO FAIL as most of the Polish "communists" were Catholic and let the Catholic church exist in a pretty comfy arrangement (usually only going after those priests who interfered with politics).

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

:lol:  You just don't get it, do you?  I wonder if you can get it, and just willfully remain ignorant so that you don't get it, or whether you cannot get it at all.

I suspect the latter.

Every animal in a slaughterhouse is bled to death.  That isn't controversial.  No one claims that even atheist butcher bleed animals to death "because a Sky Fairy told us so 1500 years ago."  Pretty much everyone who isn't a moron understands that animals are bled to death in slaughterhouses because that is the practical way to ill them.

Personally, I think it is hilarious to watch all the bigots jump on this story like it was true, and draw conclusions from it.  Only a moron would believe this on the basis of the facts and sources presented.  This story started on an internet forum.  Even Ynet tacitly concedes that the actual story is that the judges asked local children to drive away the dog (considered, as noted, bad luck) and that the kids threw stones at the dog, which ran off.  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4082843,00.html

I wonder why hatred makes people here so stupid?

Why do I hate religion? Well, duh....

:lol: 

Does religion turn humans into morons or must they be morons to begin with?

I suspect Marty would be stupid if he wasn't a bigot.  He is the only person on this board that I feel with confidence that I am indeed smarter then.

Besides the fact that the rabbis in question are nut jobs, the article you quoted answers your question on reincarnation.
"certain schools of thought" is rather vague.

Reincarnation, while a heterodox notion in most theologies, has gotten pretty decent representation as a spiritual belief within the Abrahamic tradition.

Of course, people who take it this seriously are fucking insane.

If you were smarter then me you'd figure it out.  Siege could.

Countdown for Joan Robinson to come and tell us why stoning a dog to death is no worse than taking it out for a walk, as a dog can run away and get run over by a bus while on a walk, and someone stoning a dog may miss.

Sorry to disappoint, but I refuse to condone the stoning of reincarnated secular Jewish lawyers under any circumstances.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

He has enough useful idiots here that he doesn't have to do it himself.  :hmm:

Learn to be useful and then you can join the club!

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That's just covering your own ass.  For when you return as the only Westie Terrier ever witnessed issuing a writ of replevin.

Can't they just find the dog guilty with a suspended sentence? That way, everybody wins.
