Human Sacrifices: Absurd or Insane? or This Is Religion!

Here is a beauty of an article from India this morning. It appears that human sacrifices are still going on.

Ten days ago Sumitra and her two sons crept to their neighbour's home and abducted three-year-old Aakash Singh as he slept. They dragged him into their home and the eldest son performed a puja ceremony, reciting a mantra and waving incense. Sumitra smeared sandalwood paste and globules of ghee over the terrified child's body. The two men then used a knife to slice off the child's nose, ears and hands before laying him, bleeding, in front of Kali's image.


This is religion. There is no clearer image than that of a "holy man" convincing an illiterate woman to kidnap and brutally butcher a child to death. It doesn't matter if it's one god, one hundred gods, aliens or whatever. All of it is insanity. The only difference here is degree. Catholics snack on Jesus' flesh and drink his blood every Sunday. Many Muslims think it's halal to strap a bomb to their chest and blow up schoolchildren. Some Jews practice oral suction during circumcision. There is no end to it.

Interestingly enough, this took place in Uttar Pradesh, the same province where Yaqoob Qureshi, minister of Minority Welfare, put out a 6 Million Pound bounty on the Danish Cartoonists.

I can't think what proof people need to wake up, if this doesn't do it.

Sadly, the human race cannot seem to evolve beyond religion, which is based upon two fears: A.That death is a permanent trip into nothingness B. That the faithful's penis is too small.

Because of the afformentioned fears, we have child rape and mass chaos (just to start).

Perhaps the 2 percent of us who can think above the level of retardation will be able to inspire some sort of global change before the human race chews up this world and spits it out like an apple core, but as a pessimist, that cup looks half empty.
