Denmark Bans Halal and Kosher Slaughter
-
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:

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.

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.

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.

<definition> Facon Fake bacon. A vegetarian substitute for bacon, usually made from Textured Vegetable Protein. </definition> They can fool themselves all they want but it can never pass as bacon. X|

I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopesHere you go[^] I dare say there is similar Kosher bacon. I ate this stuff when I was over in the middle east, it tastes exactly like what it is: processed beef flavoured with the same stuff they put on bacon flavoured crisps. Now here is the question: how would people keeping halal (or Kosher) acquire the taste for haram (or non-kosher) meat.

Then clubhouses is all we have. Just look at the first council of Nicaea where Emperor Constantine moulded Christianity into his wishes and created the Catholic church. Explain the reason for the existance of Shiites and Sunni (Or actually don't, I've already read up on it). Or the mass of different sects out there. Religions are evolving.

Yet the traditions of the Faroe islanders hunting whales and dolphins are upheld. We're a funny (and inconsistent) species really.
