Um, first of all, this is a discussion forum, not a place to bash religion. Secondly, I have a slight inkling that that practice was pretty much done away with follwing the Protestant Reformation (it was one of the causes, after all). But then again, what would I know... *sigh*
Allow me to begin by saying that I applaud the mod for reminding us all that this is not a debate forum. That being said, I'm going to put an opinion in--please let me know if this crosses the line.
