The rank insanity of some, most actually, religious sects/beliefs never seems to surprise me.
Early last week we had a new family move into the neighborhood, last Friday afternoon I had a knock on my front door, I opened it to find a young child about 10 years of age who asked if I had any candles I could spare since his family would be needing them as their Seventh Day Religion forbids them from using either gas or electricity from sunset on a Friday through to sunset on the following day (Saturday).
He went on to tell me that they are forbidden to watch television, listen to the radio, cook meals or even bathe during that 24 hour period, so sad and disturbing for such young children who have to endure such rank stupidity simply because of superstition and religious bullshit.
