thank God Jews no longer practice animal sacrifice
I never realized such disgusting barbaric practice was ever part of my religious history
I was neutral about Judiasm until I learned about the animal sacrifice thing this week-end I always assumed if I ever studied Judiasm I would find many fine things in it
but now I am creeped out
the Passover story is pretty sick too that bloody sign on all the doors killing all the lambs and first born Egyptian sons
I know there is some good in my religion I have read Psalms which brought me close to God and some Jewish Prophets were close to God too
so it is a mix
I dont belive for one instant God ever asked Abrahman to murder his own child I know it is in the Old Testament but whoever could think God could ever ask that, does not understand God at all imho
but again, my own beliefs are individual and personal I am sure no one belives as I do, maybe some?
I think it's best we each believe as we are guided to believe by the truth which lives in our own minds and heart Love, Palo
