And yet in middle America I can find a halal restaurant easier than anything Kosher. They even got a section in the new giant Asian supermarket (which has the most amazing giant carrots)! OTOH, this week the news is that Alaska has to change and pay a fine in their prisons for not doing Ramadan right. yet I hear sad things about Jewish prisoners who don't get squat. I thought we're all equal in America.

But on another. I don't know about Chickens, but there's one thing that bothers me about the sacrifices. If (when) I sin, I am to bring an appropriate sin offering at The Temple.
I purposely have done wrong, and as a consequence, I have to take either Wilbur or Bessie up to be killed. Shouldn't the thought of this be traumatic to me? Didn't anybody get screamish?
I asked a Rabbi along these lines, he said he recalled Western's where the kids would name the pig, and then the pig would go off, etc. I guess it was a part of life to some people.

If my opinion and interpretation mattered, I'd think this is one reason why of all things there are no sacrifices anymore. It doesn't work when it's lip-service. There are other ways to sacrifice that mean things and aren't just an appeasement scapegoat.

The prisoners mentioned above sacrifice.

I'm not into the stern judgement/judgmental group of religionist. I don't think I can post why. But I wouldn't confuse a singular person or persons for the Creator of the Universe. I'd hope even an atheist can distinguish between the two concepts of people and the Big Bang.
