PLEASE BE WARNED THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED - BEWARE

I could not believe what l saw when l read this item.

In the name of religion, sorry, this is sick. killing animals is one thing. BUT 500.000 is sick.

I am relgious, but l am sure this will upset many people as there is no need for this massacre.

Yes, kill one animal for relgious reasons - BUT, all these poor things.:(:(

It doesn't happen very often though. So I think that makes it acceptable somehow

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

It is indeed barbaric; India have banned it, hence why it's carried out in Nepal.

Pretty grotesque stuff and a sad example of the inhumane dogma that religious beliefs can bring. It's quite horrifying how readily people abandon humanity in the name of a belief that has no robust evidential basis to speak of.

There's a really good reason why I'm so vehemently secular. This kind of behaviour demeans the entire human race. There is no need and no excuse.

Apart from anything else, it is a complete waste of food.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Not aimed at you but it's equally impressive how readily some people will take up the cause of animal welfare when it relates to religious practise, whereas when such cruelty comes up in other contexts they are nowhere to be found.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Glad you said it wasn't directed at me. I'm vehemently opposed to non-stunned slaughter in general regardless of reason.

Both Jews and Muslims can rotate - if we're harvesting living creatures the least we can do is ensure they lose their perception rapidly and humanely rather than letting them bleed out.

Anyone else who desires non-stunned slaughter for dogmatic reasons whether it's cultural, spiritual, whatever, gets treated with equal disdain.

It's frankly a disgrace to the human race. We claim to have come so far since we lived in caves then this kind of bloodthirsty barbarism is tolerated and it fires us right back there as a species.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

We should make a point of why it's bad to kill animals for fun. religious belief, and for the hell of it.

we should sacrifice 500,000 cows and say it's not clever now is it.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

That would be why it's a belief, as opposed to a Richard Dawkins lecture. ;)

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

They're stuck in their barbaric ways. they know no different.

Belief is dangerous and evil.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Regardless it's anathema to a measured, progressive approach to society. Regardless of it being a religious or any other belief it sucks.

Indeed closed-minded dogma in all forms is pap; I'm guilty of it as many are, difference being I don't decide to slaughter animals I just make an ass of myself.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Seriously?

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

calm down its what their GOD wants why do people feel the need to criticise GODS will .

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Which one? They're Hindus. ;)

Does go to show that there are lunatic fringes at the edge of every belief system though, even one as fundamentally cool as Hinduism.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Are Hindus vegetarians! What happens to the meat from the buffalo's apart from skinning and burying their heads in a pit.

God doesn't want it -God only wants death

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

This God has informed me that he prefers 500,000 children sacrificed to appease him. but he keeps getting animals every year.
he says that's why he never sends any luck and prosperity in return. because the stupid people keep killing animals and not children.

That's probably why religion is mostly connected to killings, slaughters, and fighting.
we need change. we need a nice God.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Maybe you could make one up Gary. ;) what would your gods commandments be?

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

go forth and multiply ;)

Thou shalt not worship the invisible

Thou shud vote UKIP at the next elections

:)

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

You forgot 'thou should be able to spell and use grammar* correctly'...

*invisible is an adjective, and should be attached to a noun....

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

thou shalt not be a smart ass spelling /grammar Nazi;)

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Actually I think "the invisible" works as an abstract noun.

And in archaic usage, it would be "thou shouldst". ;)

Grammar Nazi handbags at dawn. :D

there's only 1 God, only Allah is God.
christian God Is Allah
Jews God Is Allah.
the whole mankind God Is Allah
animals, Insect, birds, jinn, fish, jinn, shaytan God is Allah

99% religions are following false Gods and idols.

only Islam is the right religion. if you don't believe me then find out when your dead and the day of Judgement, and next life.
and I hope you good luck because you will need it.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

yea thanks for that - this god of your only ever seems to go after dead people strange that don't you think .

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

In your opinion

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

BS.

You're doing a fantastic job of enforcing the stereotype of intolerant Muslims.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

When you die. you die. you rot or you get burned.
end of. nothing else. zilch up there, and zilch down below.

if you don't believe me. ask those who blew themselves up.
they'll say "it was all for nothing mate"

I'll let you have that one. but will up it to 100

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Islam only started in 600 AD!!!??!!!

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

I'll replace all scripture with 9 words, 4 of which are short for 1:

Try not to be a 'see you next Tuesday'.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

2 for 1 on beheading and forced conversion.

Re: Hindu sacrifice of 500,000 animals begins in Nepal
 

Give up. Neither the religiously inclined or the atheists among us will be persuaded to turn Islam and you might as well go elsewhere to find converts..
