Only you did not say "if" or anything to the notion of anticipating a possible reaction. You cited differences in culture, which lead to " will decide that [your beliefs] are inferior." That's projecting this inference, putting it out there to where further pressing on that issue will almost make it seem true. Do not do that.
True, I projected a future expectation. So, please clarify. Is my system equally valid, superior or inferior? Once I know where you stand I won't have to lay out an expectation. If my cultural practice and understanding is equally valid, would you endorse a country's banning it?
I don't have to foresee anything. There's a reason I don't sacrifice a live goat to Thor, or challenge people who insult me to holmganga.
No one said you have to do anything. The question is whether you hold a certain position. If you don't want to extrapolate from your current understanding then just say so.
Other Jewish people are included in that, and clearly someone is crying persecution (several in this thread) or else the buzzword of "anti-semetic" would not be in play. Yet you are here arguing in favor of maintaining the current method of slaughter, as opposed to changing one aspect for the betterment of livestock ethics.
Here is the kernel of your error. You assume I am here arguing in favor of maintaining something. I am not. I have been clear about my purpose here -- to discuss whether the banning was anti-semitic (vs anything else) and to disabuse people of mistaken notions about a religious law. If you want to argue with "other Jewish people" about what they say, have fun. My goal has never been to defend kosher slaughter against the claims made here. It is essential that each branch of conversation keep a discrete and sharp eye on its terms and premises and one does not assume another's motives.
This is quite an interesting article on how Judaism has adapted and changed over the centuries. I see no reason why the method of slaughter - not even touching on food preparation or what kind of animal is being eaten - cannot be added to this long line of cultural adaptation and growth.
Yes, I understand that that is your position. All I am saying is that just because you "see no reason" doesn't mean that to others there is no reason. It just might be that you wouldn't approve or condone that reason.
