From the Archives: A Tale of Two Chickens

This week, from the Unpious archives: “A Tale of Two Chickens” by Yakov Yosef.

I stepped to the side, swung the chicken over my head, all the while reciting the short prayer: Zeh chalifasi, zeh kaparasi, zeh temirasi. This is my exchange, this is my atonement, this is my substitute, this rooster will go to its death and I will enter to long and peaceful life. After repeating the process three times I lay the chicken on the ground and gave it a soft kick in the head, all the while concentrating on the thought that all that the chicken now endures should’ve rightfully been done to me.

It was now time to stand in the second line, the one leading to a station where an old man with a long white beard stood with a sharp knife, taking the chicken from the hands of each bearer and slitting its throat.

And check out the great “Why Are All OTDers Great Big Bleeding Heart Liberals Debate,” in the comments, including:

Abe: What is it with people, that once they claim to stop believing in God, and they start living the lifestyle he proscribed, and right around the time they abandon their poor kids – they suddenly become passionate animal and bird lovers, tree huggers, and ‘environmental enthusiasts’. Oh, and then they feel justified to hate on all those who aren’t as ‘open-minded and loving’ as them

Hasidic Rebel: What is it with people, Abe, who promote and extol a culture of fear and intimidation upon all those who dare dissent, who rip sons from their mothers’ bosoms and daughters from their fathers’ embrace, and then dare to blame those they victimize as selfish and hateful?

Allen: First off no one ever abandons there family and kids. In most cases, it is the cult community who breaks apart our families. By brainwashing and blackmailing our ex-wives and kids to abandon us and hate us. Further more, most of the time we are shoved out of our marriages by so-called rabies and family friends, for the simple reason that we do not fit in their box.

As for the second issue, regarding our love and passion for the animals. That is what happens when we go out in the world and we start to try to rebuild our lives on the outside. We meet many wonderful people who support us and accept us for who we are. That is when we realize that the phenomenon of bishvili nivra haolam is just another way of the systems brainwashing machine to make us feel that we are the chosen ones, and everything else is trash in comparison. That is when; we develop a sense of caring for the other creatures that share our planet. Be it gentiles, animals, or even Jews that do not believe in everything that this system wants us to believe in.
