Starve a Baby for God

With the backdrop of a neighborhood in a religious rampage over policy initiated under Jerusalem's new secular mayor, a very religious lady is arrested for starving her baby.

Holy Moley! Über-orthodox Jews invade secular 'hood.

"They've dismantled traffic lights, and without traffic lights deadly accidents could take place. They've disconnected systems in electricity poles and people could be electrocuted.

"I have not found a single place in the Bible where it is written that these actions are permissible."

The Judeo-Christian-Muslim religion justifies Abraham trying to stab his own child as a sacrifice to Jehovah. The religion raises its own children to believe the willingness to do so is an admirable sign of faith in God, who supposedly approves, so I think they can get by the horror of trying to starve a child too. Judging from the riots, they obviously do.

"Rioting over the woman's arrest showed no sign of abating on Thursday afternoon, with police being forced to evacuate welfare workers from their office in the Geula neighborhood as haredim pelted the building with stones. No one was wounded in the latest incidents.

"Meanwhile, haredi protesters burned tires and hurled stones at passing vehicles... In addition, 15 other demonstrators protested outside Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where the boy is currently hospitalized."

Religion, like a gun, is a killer in the hands of the beholder, but I can't think of the last time I saw rampaging atheists and agnostics in the street.
