The weird logic of worship

Strange are the beliefs of people over what God wants. Has a mother ever been pleased by killing her own children? How can cruelty and sacrifice be the road to kindness and forgiveness? Sacrifice of animals for the betterment of humankind achieved a new low today, or did it?

Apparently this has been going on for years and years. Innocent dumb animals sacrificed amongst a celebration of death in the name of pleasing God. I'm no messenger of God, but killing a living being just to please God is the most illogical of all forms of worship. Especially when the priest retorts that people who oppose this must oppose cow slaughter instead. That priest is the biggest sinner of all. People do it out of blind faith spread by such priests who have more clout than anybody else. "No one has the right to meddle with people's faith"....ponder on that for some time and think about who else can say this for justifying what on the basis of religion..

Imagine such a bloodbath where cries of pain and suffering are drowned by chants and cheers of celebration. What is this if not a grotesque and perverse interpretation of all that the God they claim to please stands for. Take the animals out and bring innocent women in. Welcome to the Taliban...
