You made your character the subject of this thread by making some seriously dodgey statements and trying to pass them off as facts.

Agree or disagree?

I am against animal cruelty. But I am not against animal sacrifice. There is a difference. (And just for the record I have never performed it.)
Animal sacrifice is a common theme in many of the worlds religions. From Judaism to Islam. Santeria to Christianity.
Lets take a look in the good book itself. Luke 2:21-24
Quote:
21. After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22. When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
23. (as it is written in the law of the Lord, 'Every firstborn male shall be designated as Holy to the Lord'),
24. and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, 'a pair of turtle-doves and two young pigeons.'
