There are a number of sub-sects of Amish. The ones you see on TV are
always the more moderate ones, since the "hard line" Amish, who eschew
most modern technology, will not allow themselves to be filmed.

And even the more relaxed of them have stupid rules on the colors
you can have your horse drawn things painted, and what color
braces etc you can wear. Completely off with the ****ing fairys.

But does it matter? Why not let them live their life as they choose.
They're not doing the rest of us any harm.

The evidence from the past indicates that religion does serious harm to
many.

If only because it fills their heads with stupid ****.

It isnt hard to see why some decided that its likely to work a lot
better to proclaim that some god or other doesn't want you to
eat pigs than to try explain why that can be not great for your
health in some circumstance, particularly with the illiterate.

Harder to see how anyone could have gotten away with
claiming that some damned god or other had just proclaimed
that everyone had to hack the ends off their kid's dicks on day
7 or whenever it is and everyone just clicked their heels and
whipped out the knives and started hacking away etc.

Just a tad hard to believe that if Billy Graham had
tried that line that it would have seen the same result.

Especially those the religious consider to be inferior due to them not
being a member of their superior religion.
