*DISCLAIMER* I do not discriminate against religions or people OF that religion, however far-fetched their customs are. But some things go beyond belief and common sense.
I don't mind people having their religion, but some people go too far (even so far as to hurt others 'in the name of their *insert deity here*'...)
Prime example: Family of four. Father is an abusive alcoholic, mother is passive-aggressive (although a nice woman, she has her moments), both kids are blindly faithful and unknowingly discriminatory...
They have a dog. But they're too poor to buy a collar, so they loop the dog's chain to his dog house AROUND HIS NECK. as in, the bare chain is around his neck. While uncomfortable, it wouldn't do actual damage over a short amount of time. The thing is, they never took the chain off or brought him inside...EVER. Don't get me wrong, they loved their dog, fed him and all, just didn't let him off that chain. Well, it dug into the dog's neck and eventually pinched a nerve permanently. That means this dog won't let anyone near him and he turned into a completely ferocious monster.
They called the vet over to see what could be done...the vet couldn't even get close enough to chloroform him to have the chain removed...judging by that coupled with the family's financial options, the vet could either tranquilize him with a gun and then TRY to remove the chain, tranquilize him with a gun and then euthanize him, or leave him for the family to deal with. They decided to have the vet go and they'd take care of it themselves...with a double-barrel shotgun to the head.
Not too suck so far...they did what they had to do. HERE is the suck...
Did they take the blame? NO. They were christians (dubbed Crazy Christians by me) and instead of just praying for forgiveness and apologising and repenting and whatnot like NORMAL christians, guess what they did? they prayed for guidance to find what they had done to sin for this punishment...and found an avon magazine with a harry potter waterglobe on the cover. they tore off the cover, tore it up and burned it and prayed for their souls for the rest of the day for the abhorrent sin of having such an image in their house...i shit you not. they blamed a PICTURE for them having to shoot their dog, instead of them not getting a proper COLLAR...am i wrong for finding something wrong with this?
