[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reason for various rules (Islam and Christianity have them too) is they were made way before modern science and hygiene. For example, washing before the day of prayer -- back then, people didn't take daily showers so this was to ensure people were clean. Same with mikvah. Sort of useless in modern society where people shower at least once a day anyway. Same with that stuff about women on their periods -- I bet they didn't have tampons or good menstrual pads back then. Or banning certain foods -- because those animals were "unclean" (yet today, people can for example eat pork without issue, since we can safely store and prepare it).[/quote] Yes, but today's followers (Christian / Jewish, Moslem)believe in scripture regardless of what may have been behind these laws, so in the end it is religious belief. My question is, if one isn't religious why follow religious practices? Still wondering about OP's intent here. [/quote]
