The hypocrisy towards witchcraft and Azealia Banks

[EdX 2,862]

i'm sorry but i hate that we even have to discuss this... 

[Gagadonna 10,801]

I'm sure she fakes being a witch just to get attention and because she thinks it's exciting. That girl is such an immature cry baby and attention-*****. She can't be taken seriously. If she did slaughter those chickens, she's definitely a piece of ****. Sorry not sorry. Don't come for me with your "You eat chicken you hypocrite!" Yes I do eat chicken. Did she tho? I don't know, but she is disgusting for more than that one reason.

But the turkey in most cases is nothing more than extra privilege. It's like a birthday cake in the sense that it's not for survival, but rather for gluttony and festive purposes.

Yes, but the eating of any animal in this day and age is not necessarily for survival? We have several foods at our disposal. Eating a Turkey on Thanksgiving is no different than eating a ham sandwich on any random day of the year...in my opinion. 

It may not be for "survival" but the animal's body is not being killed and disposed of. It is being eaten and providing sustenance...regardless of the purpose. Most people agree it's a lot less offensive to kill an animal and eat it than to kill an animal and not use it for any purpose post mortem. 

And, I was right. In Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah Supreme Court case of 1993, the Supreme Court ruled that the "unnecessar[y]" killing of "an animal in a public or private ritual or ceremony not for the primary purpose of food consumption", was unconstitutional. So no matter what way you try to cut it, under American law eating turkey on Thanksgiving is legal and kill chickens in your closet for brujeria is illegal.

Please dig into this, I'm interested to know the details. 

In Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah Supreme Court case of 1993, the Supreme Court ruled that the "unnecessar[y]" killing of "an animal in a public or private ritual or ceremony not for the primary purpose of food consumption", was unconstitutional. 

So claiming, at least in the US, that sacrificing animals is necessary for your religion is unconstitutional and illegal. One of the few cases that limited what a church can claim under freedom of religion.

Now, I still think she is trash, for many other reasons. But honestly I think we've gone a little too far on this. It's really just what she believes in. Plenty of people also practice witchcraft.

I get that animal killings are involved. But it isn't without a reason if it has to do with religion. If that's the case, then the Thanksgiving turkey is also for no reason. It is for eating purposes, but it's an extra privilege, since they could have simply eaten something else. But millions on turkeys would have to be slaughtered just for that day. (not the best analogy tbh...)

Is discriminating against witches supposed to be the thing now? Is it Salem all over again? I think many of us have failed to see that, and are just trashing her for the sake of it.

 

I agree, witchcraft really isn't any more insane than any other religion. They're all insane imo

Hating on Azebra for sacrificing chickens because it's what she believes in is no different than hating on homophobic Christians for hating on LGBT people. 

It's still barbaric and wrong.

I'm a atheist and a vegan so this is so wrong for me in every single way

We don't have to respect each and every religion

The funny thing is that 95% of all religions require a sacrifice. Especially Christianity.

Most religions that involve killing anything are usually looked down upon. 

Really what about Christianity? Lol Someone has never read the old testament. 

[Swando 300]

Honestly. My theory is that this "religion" of hers, is just to help reduce her anger issues 

She knows very well how animal sacrifice is looked upon in western culture. She's fully aware of the attention she'll get from it.

Religion should always be seen as something personal and "holy", not a way to get attention. Unless that's what your religion is about.

[MJHolland 12,725]

I got 2 WP's for trashing her and I'm not even mad about it 

worth 

[HANZ 4,380]

I'm pretty sure she is faking this "I'm a witch" thing and she is just doing it for attention, she is such an attentioin ***** and her fans are something else for still defending her

But they don't dispose of the chicken's body; they consume the chicken afterwards. Also you have the wrong info on the case you cited. The USA Supreme Court has stated (Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, 1993 - see related links) that it is constitutional for Santeria worshippers to kill animals for such a ritual sacrifice.

I believe in the ethical treatment of animals. Idgaf if people want to claim religion purposes over this. It's 2017- lets move on from being barbaric cruel mindless slaves to the meat and dairy industry and realise that in harming animals we are only harming ourselves.
