Religions don't do people do

Anyone who is stupid enough to worship a rat deserves whatever disease they get.
You certainly are picking and prodding to find all the weird stuff around the globe that has to do with religion. Do you want to say
why you choose to do this?
Alot of what goes on in the World is as much cultural as it is religious.
Because some people worship rats does not take from the truth of God, so why not just spit out whats really on your mind, and lets get that answered.
There are people in oriental Countries who
worship the penis, too.
Guess what: there are people who worship their mate, their boats, their classic cars,
their dope, their women/men, etc.
The word "religion" is very generic a term.
Quite frankly, the word "Christian" is far too
generic a term, also. When I state that I am a Christian, automatically I get questions like, "why do you think the world is only 6000 years old just because the Bible says so?".
I want to vomit. The Bible says no such thing; people say that who are unlearned in the Bibles teachings. So often I don't even know what the hell to call myself: I follow Jesus Christ. I do not disapprove of Science; I do not think the world is 6000 years old; I do not hate people; I am not a bigot; etc etc...
Your question should be "How can people actually worship rats?"

Don't really understand the question? Venerating Rats, venerating plaster statues of saints, sipping wine and bread and saying it turns into blood and flesh...
Silly, counter-factual and nonsensical. That is what all religion is. You can't single one practise out as being any more stupid or gross than others!
And I quite like rats!
