re: #41 SanFranciscoZionist
My standard response to crazy pseudo-religious behavior in the Jewish world is “My great-grandparents didn’t do that, and neither did theirs.”
I will now extend this response to the Muslim world.
Heh. One of things I’ve always admired about Judaism is the concept of pikuach nefesh. The world would be a better a place if more people (religious or not) adopted that idea.
