Denmark Bans Halal and Kosher Slaughter
-
I'm not saying this because I'm Danish, but they're doing the right thing. And it's about time! I wish that Sweden would do the same (and other countries for that matter). Halal and Kosher slaughter is an abomination that shouldn't take place in the 21st century. I have nothing against religion, but muslims and jews really should keep up with time instead of klinging themselves to 2000 year old "laws". I'm just afraid that a ban will not be respected and that such slaughter will go on in the hidden. Hope that the Danish police will have the guts to follow up on this!

While I respect all religions, (I too believe in God), holy requirements about what shall and shall not be eaten are pure BS. (Yes, and I know that for some of you the rest is pure BS as well, so no need to start a thread about it). Religions *might* have justification about very controversial positions (homosexuality, abortion, ... you get the picture- and with that I mean, you could possibly derive a logical argumentation for these, but I fail to see why a God should want me to only eat this and not that. I really fail to see the logical link, especially since it *could* mean cruelty for the slaughtered animals1, which, after all, are also creatures of God. 1. I know this is still controversial.

I can understand food laws that were written 2000 years before refrigeration and meant for people living in a desert and without medicines. But hey, times have changed. We have hygiene now, and penicillin, and fridge-freezers. BS laws on crap like this only ridicule further the already ridiculous posturing of the religionists. Personally I dislike all religion, but especially the doctrines of cruelty found in them. From the abuse of helpless children to the misogynist views they all espouse, and especially cruelty to animals. I am not a veggie, I love meat, but I do not want my meat arriving on my plate via a cruel death.

I'd like to see such a law in Germany, i mean i love meat on my plate, but this Kind of slaughter is just dishonerable for animals.

How about the religion evolve and keep up with the times and changes around it? :confused: You can't apply everything that was written 2000 years ago directly to society today. :doh:

In my opinion, the two things have nothing to do with each other. I can understand people drawing parallels because of their nature, but both the religious slaughter and the slaughter of a healthy giraffe just because of space requirements are wrong and should be condemned. I signed a lot of petitions in favour of the giraffe, but in the end it seems it couldn't be stopped. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to stop both that and the religious animal torture. :doh:

How about free will and thinking for yourself? If that's not allowed, then religion is merely a tool for the clever to oppress the stupid.

Me, all the timeI don't disagree. However, getting the people angry over religiously sanctioned food by using something that appears to be completely irrelevant is proof that people are stupid and easily manipulated. Unfortunately, the government, corporations, and people have been doing that forever (almost every excuse for war comes to mind).

It is just a new religion Dave. Halal and Kosher bacon is called Facon and it is an abomination, yet Danish Bacon prices will rise anyway, no doubt.

By all means! I'm absolutely against religion for that reason. However, if religion is meant to be modified by anyone, then it is not a religion, but a clubhouse as I stated. Personally, I enjoy more the philosophy of theology than religion because that allows room for discussion. If that's what you want, leave religion to those it brings peace and happiness to and find your own elsewhere. Saying religion should change goes against what religion is in my opinion, even if what it is is wrong to begin with.
