My point is that a lot of times religion is used as a security blanket to defend ridiculous things. If a teacher at a school taught his students that it was safe to handle venomous snakes, and the school board approved of this, you would immediately agree that the teacher, the school, and the practice were stupid. But since its a religion, we had better respect them no matter what they do?
