"You can add my name as well as I dont laugh when someone insults my religious beliefs."
Knox, a touch sensitive aren't you? Dont seem to recall insulting anyones beliefs. I could very easily but I wont as I have no reason to. Just showing the absurdity of following any belief to a ludicrous conclusion. And if its ludicrous, as in the case of the Turkish lawyer, then it deserves to be mocked, whatever the religion in question.
And seeing as I'm a equal opportunities piss taker, here's one more:
"The officials in one northern Angolan town identified 432 street children who had been abandoned or abused after being called witches. A report last year by the government’s National Institute for the Child and the United Nations Children’s Fund described the number of children said to be witches as “massive.”
The notion of child witches is not new here. It is a common belief in Angola’s dominant Bantu culture that witches can communicate with the world of the dead and usurp or “eat” the life force of others, bringing their victims misfortune, illness and death. Adult witches are said to bewitch children by giving them food, then forcing them to reciprocate by sacrificing a family member."
By YOUR reasoning YOU have to respect this 'religious practice'
See what I'm getting at??
I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
