      "We are more attached to the cow than [to] our own children.” What could go wrong with a religion like that?http://nyti.ms/1hmkQ9b

      @bnicetosam I'm criticizing the belief that cows are sacred animals. It has consequences (and this isn't the only incident of this kind).

          @SamHarrisOrg @bnicetosam stop singling out Hinduism, Harris. All religions believe in the sacredness of cows equally.

          @SamHarrisOrg @bnicetosam Fine to believe cows are sacred. To kill for that belief is in general not fine. And Hinduism doesn't ask to kill

          @ichirpy @SamHarrisOrg @bnicetosam yes, I see little difference between "I kill 'cause cow is sacred' and "I kill 'cause my tribe is sacred"

          @SamHarrisOrg @bnicetosam the lack of direct link between Hinduism and killing for certain actions is what differentiates it from Islam.

          @SamHarrisOrg @bnicetosam Why is it so hard for people to understand this simple concept? Bad ideas, religious or otherwise are bad ideas!

          @ichirpy @bnicetosam @SamHarrisOrg Yeah but saying that dogs are sacred and so they should not be eaten is a weird idea.
