|  I hear you.
Now, onto a slightly more ridiculous religious news item:
Quote: Indian Court Sides With Sikhs on Plucking Eyebrows
An Indian court has upheld the decision by a medical school to deny admission to a Sikh girl who plucked her eyebrows, thereby violating the faith's rules against cutting one's hair.
| RNS Feature: "Indian court sides with Sikhs on plucking eyebrows"
I don't mean to be splitting hairs here (har, har!), but how is plucking the same has cutting? I can sorta see it, if the rationalization is that hair is entirely God's domain. Then, yeah, plucking is as bad as cutting.
But it's not cutting. Wherever her brows went, those hairs were not clipped.
Either way, makes me grateful, yet again, for the separation of church and state. __________________  Sunny
