Religious Idiocy
Nov. 5th, 2007 05:44 pmLet me see if I remember this right...
Can't commit euthanasia for someone whose quality of life is shit and is dying anyway.
Can't allow infants who are suffering and dying to die a little quicker and less painfully.
CAN allow someone who would otherwise live to die (leaving twins motherless) because of FUCKING Deuteronomy and FUCKING Leviticus being interpreted so as to apply to medical procedures that DID NOT FUCKING EXIST in the time, clearly refers to other, specific practices, and is entirely debatable if it should be adhered to by followers of Jesus after his death.
I am Jack's white-hot fury at what society respects.
If it was just someone refusing to be healed because of their faith - and thus dying - good on you. Too many people on the planet as it is, thanks for lightening the load. I'll write your name into the Darwin awards nominations list.
But to leave a pair of twins motherless? Unspeakably irresponsible.
If someone with a whiff of authenticity found a way to interpret a passage in the bible to mean that men should staple their knackers to the table each Sunday, people would go looting Rymers.
This'll be one to discuss with the JW lads this week, I reckon.
