Sweet mother of ****. Those pictures are shocking beyond words.

Religion is shit. There are plenty of vile irrational belief systems,
but religion is among the worst.

I've never seen such callous cruelty, and if I hadn't seen those pictures of
all those grinning hindoos hacking at the necks and bodies of those hundreds
of thousands of peaceful, gentle young animals, I would find it difficult
to believe such horror exists in this world. Jai Maharaj goes to great
lengths portraying hindoos as being respectful toward animals but, as we can
see by those pictures in that article, they are evil and repulsive toward
them beyond belief. And just look at their grinning hindoo spectators
covering every branch of every tree, often crouched on top of each other
like bugs to get a better view; they're just as evil as the younger hindoo
barbarians carrying out the attacks.

>Religion is shit. There are plenty of vile irrational belief systems,

I rejected the lies and all the manipulations that maintain religion when
merely a young boy still struggling to master the 7 times table, and I've
grown to detest it more and more ever since.

You might try a little balance in future? While that practice is to my
mind barbaric, it's not at all representative of Hinduism, and
perpetrated elsewhere (secular and religious) many fold.

Is that 'religion', or the people that use and/or believe in it?--

"The last time the festival was held, in 2009, more than 250,000 animals were
killed, according to animal rights organisation PETA"

I wonder if that's more dogs and cats than PeTA killed during the same time
period, Goob.

Yet we can't see any of them grinning or any of them in a tree. How not
unlike you to lie blatantly.

The source is irrelevant; all that counts is if it's accurate.

Those senselessly slaughtered animals did not "benefit" by "getting to
experience life." That's settled.

You, Derek and Ru have no way of knowing what percentage of them did and
what percentage of them did not Goob. In fact none of you are even able to
consider the distinction, Goo.
