Me: “Religions often require pointless cruelty and suffering!”
Catholics: “Yes.” (Shrugs)
Me: “I was talking about kosher and halal practices… requiring that animals not be anaesthetized before being slaughtered.”
Catholics, grimacing: “Oh! Right! Yeah…”
Do you want USian theofacism? Because this is how you get USian theofacism
Did you read the article?
Yeah, the headline sounds worrying, but it’s for animal welfare. Which means it’s holding the religious practices to a higher standard and saying you can’t ignore the law just cause of religion.

Fair call. Religions and other traditions should not be above anti-cruelty standards. This law, while in direct contradiction to a traditional practice, does not appear to be intended as harassment or persecution. If a culture is incompatible with anti-cruelty standards, drop the practice from the culture. I’d expect the same if anti-discrimination legislation outlaws the sexist enforcement of 1 Timothy 2:12, 1 Corinthians 14:34, 1 Corinthians 11:4-5 among unliberalised Christian organisations.
I wonder if these laws encouraged vegetarianism, rather than breaking diet requirements.
